Will Itbox live to see issue 100?

It's still on some of the cabinets I play.

Hopefully it was sealed in concrete and blasted into the sun

I actually find that they are in reasonable condition round here - probably because there are so few of them left that it's not too hard to maintain them. I was playing Go For Gold yesterday night - not everyone's cup of tea, I know - but it is fun and has very few errors compared to all the MICHARLs and FREGUSONs and PLUNTO NASHes in the Paragon games. The thought occurred to me that this is the only game on any of the other cabinets that would actually be a worthy addition to the current Paragon line up. Sad state of affairs really.

What about Monopoly? Punters seem to like it - I assume you're not talking from a playing perspective since Go For Gold is as tight as a gnat's chuff.

It's a new twist on an old theme (as far as I am aware) and it's playable in that it's decent entertainment for my 50p.

Profitable? I have had a few results but I wouldn't judge any game based on its performance on current itboxes or gamesnets. I think Eliminator is friendlier on Paragons than elsewhere.

Re: Monopoly. I haven't got to the cash round since about 1978 so, no thanks

Skill bingo got the boot with the other more gambling themed games (six shooter, royale etc) as the government changed the rules on SWPs.

For a second I thought you meant 9 new games!
Unless they've done some serious repair work I can't believe Wacky Races would work on an itbox. Won't they have learnt from BAM? We'll see I suppose.

Sorry about any misunderstanding I meant there's only 9 games on it

Saw a new Gamesnet mneu last night. Seems they have done some repair work as BAM and Darts seems to work fine now. Took a £5 out of the Darts which was a first for me on a Gamesnet.

Preferred it when it was a £1 a go though.
