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.

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.

Does PLD now play at the correct speed on the updated gamesnet units? Meaning no sticky juddery darts?

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.

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...
