That sounds like Inquizitor, one of the early classics. I loved that game almost as much as I loved Every Second Counts (which was a lot)...62 seconds on the clock, 49 triangles to clear.

That would be me cool!

I had a break when I returned to the States in late '91. It wasn't too hard to quickly work back up to good returns after I got back in mid 1993. Then after an eleven (!) year break I was back in London for a short while in 2005. I had definitely lost my touch - too many changes - including me havin...

I met you in a pub just off the m3 nr Farnborough-Crown & Cushion in the barn--the machine you enjoyed playing was Inquizitor. You worked for a printers in London and had been featured on TVS for being banned from a pub.Remember me??? Awesome memory - guess that's a good part of the reason you'...

CR, thanks for your post :D I wonder if there are more women willing to come out of the woodwork? I remember one or two very good players but I didn't see them around often enough to think they were in it for a living. quizard, I never attracted much male attention myself - too common garden variety...

yesterday in a pub for an hour and a half and won nothing! Machine was situated next to the bar so had the barmaid peering at me. She was joined by two thai women with a baby who stood about six inches behind me shouting 'jackpot' in unison everytime I got close to it, that disconcerted me so much ...
