as you know i am normally singing the praises of GWHL compared with LL but i'm disappointed with the new menu on paragons.

:d: nuts seems noticeably harder than it is on titboxes.

:d: the pool game is very stylish and zippy but a bastard to even get to £1.

:d: was there some other forgettable shite itbox game?

:d: DOND no point is an AWP

:d: the megatouch is still a waste of space

i will be having lunch in front of a paragon later so will hopefully not be vindicated

The other ItBox game you allude to is 1 vs 100. So, quite a good game, but on my limited experience on the new Paragons I thought 1 vs 100 seemed harder than its ItBox incarnation. I wouldn't say that the new Paragon line-up is very exciting; given the current worthwhile state of ItBoxes, Paragons are probably my lowest priority machine at the moment, which hasn't been the case for a fair while.

how remiss of me.

:d: it has soup :roll: which is NOT the same game as WU, it is like scrabble sets for kiddies with cutesy pictures of cats on the C. anyone can clear it now by touching any three tiles 39 times.

And 39x3 would give you 1300 if you're lucky and, 19 times out of 20, zero quid.

I don't see much evidence that anyone is getting a prize (i.e. 1600-1700+) on Soup who wasn't capable of doing it on WU.

but if you stumble across one that has been played by joe Public then the prizes are nearer such that even the most modest of clearances (which are now much more ascertainable by less gifted players) can put a serious dent in the prize ladder.
