I've Seen the HMRC police checking machines!

Post by BigEd »

Not really.

New games D-Day has seemed to have come and gone without notice where I am.
All the ItBox, and Gamesnet machines that I have seen are updated. I'm glad to see that the ItBox now only takes less than a minute to get back to the menu when it is playing full screen attracts for the games, rather than the 10+ minutes that the last release took.

Gamesnet very playable, and even I was in profit from it!
C.O.M + P.L.D + W.R = Get in!

As of last night, I've only seen a couple of updated Paragons.

Not been to the local Ind:e yet so I can't comment.
Oh, I'm so scared.

Well done, but you might have been the first player on the new issue. Makes a big difference.
Must say though, that less games isn't such a bad thing. Too many of them before were a waste of space.

Played several units over the weekend, all running fine but there's a few changes.

50p a play now, and It appears you only get 1 continue chance. I had supped several jar's but I definately didn't get a continue chance after halting at the £4 stage.

I also played a couple of Opens and their version seems even easier at only 301 Target.

Hex has been good for many £4 and £6 wins. Then £2 and £3 wins.

More people play Darts, so a lot of the time they have already been done.

Played a PLD in a pub in West Norfolk 2 or 3 months ago. Got the £10 and then Double Prizes and got the £20. Must have been very ready.

I'm guessing that from the updates, you 'should' be able to get the tenner each time? I noticed it's changed the message from something like 'Unlucky!' to 'Too Close!' when you get a bounce out from another dart (probably some loophole there). But, I've had very few 'Oooooooooooon the wire...' episodes on the two updated units I know about...

And yup, it's a different feeling winning on PLD than most other games, you feel more like you've beat somebody than just something...
"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
