I agree. I am becoming more and more enamoured of this game, although something happened today which made me say "you bastard" in a pub/restaurant in front of women and children.

In the true/false game (jail I think) the true/false buttons actually SWAPPED POSITIONS between questions. That caught me out as I am one of those impatient pressers who likes to take <1 second to hammer the answer in.

Today was the first time I played as the boat. It was a lucky boat for me, sailing as it did to a £5 win on the endgame.

In response to MrChimp's question, I always go for the yellow properties on the Go game as they show up more easily than the green. Again, if I could be arsed this is somewhere where my trusty mobile camera phone could come in handy.

They do swap the true and falses around, yes. I think they also do this on Give It A Whirl.

Ah, Give It A Whirl. Has there ever been a quiz with more needless fannying about between questions?

I concede certain Quiz historians might cite Goldenballs and that mini crazy golf game as answers to that rhetorical question. The only game where I have felt comfortable (indeed somewhat titillated) messing about between questions is the sorely missed Space Quest where calculating the dynamics of the bouncing planets constituted an intellectual challenge in itself.

Totally agree QT. What is the point of that power skill stop spin the wheel of fortune bit?

Unless anybody tells me different, and that there actually is some entertainment/value in this game, then it has had my last 50p.

I actually quite liked Give us a Whirl, until the last time I played it and it just crashed halfed way thru and returned to the main screen without either an apology or compensation.

That's the last 50p it's getting off me too.

It's definitely a payer. At a venue near me, by the look of the scoreboard, it's had about ten plays. About four of them are mine, and on three of them I've won £5. Not yet JPed it, but I think it might come (I crashed out on about 40,000 recently). I'd play this ahead of a lot of games at the moment. Totally agree that the skill stop bit is pointless, but the underlying game is good.
