Agree that this is not the best question but seen it before and I thought he was called Faceman abbreviated to Face but never The Face?

New games, same dipshit question writers:

Who replaced Brian Clough as manager of Manchester United?

It wants Frank Clark as the answer.

I am continually amazed that some people are let loose on writing questions for these games.

Apparently Steven Gately was in take that!
And the lighthouse family sang the Life Of Riley...it's actually just about impossible to remember all the mistakes in the new TOTP. When I first started playing about 4 or 5 years ago I would insist the pub rang up the manufacturer to complain if the machine got just about anything wrong - can't arsed now but TOTP is worth staying away from.

Can't disagree with this thread, Christ knows I've seen enough 'wrong stuff', but most of it just makes me laugh. I don't think the game makers care enough to give a .... :roll:

Disney took the liberty of changing Bambi's species into a white-tailed deer from his original species of roe deer, since roe deer don't inhabit the United States, and the white-tailed deer is more familiar to Americans.

I know it's been mentioned before but I like the way that Football Crazy (and now Itbox Soccer) can't handle accents. Like

LIVERPOOL MANAGER - BEN TEZ

SOUTHAMPTON PLAYER - AUGUST N DELGADO

Someone's obviously just cut and pasted squad lists in without engaging brain

Which Tom is missing from this list of the Travelling Wilburys-
Bob Dylan, George Harison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty:-

BULLSEYE:

Which of these capital cities does not sit on a river?
A. Valletta
B. Ljubljana
C. Budapest

I once read that Madrid was the only European capital city not sitting on a river, so imagine my dismay when these choices came up.

Was this question 'shit' or my Madrid source incorrect? (Correct answer was Valletta by the way).

Madrid's on the Manzanares, I think, although it's a pretty minor river. IIRC it flows under one of the stands at Atletico Madrid.

I just had this on Bullseye for the third time in 6 games. I believe the answer it wants is London. Ive never had the 'full' question with an extra option though.

I've no examples that I can recall, but Jiggy Bank's question set appears to have been done in something of a rush - I've spotted quite a few silly errors.
