Out today by the look of it. New games as follows (with some remarks):

- Cash Smash (that non-quiz knight's flag thing that's been on GamesNets)

- Eliminator (good to see this as I've enjoyed playing it on GamesNets)

- Crystal Maze - advertised £50 jackpot here, I think this has been on the GamesNets also. Not my kind of title but it looks well-done and will no doubt be popular. £1 play.

- Monopoly £1 play - £50 jackpot advertised. Oddly, my terminal's version of this was very bugged - on loading it still advertised a 50p/£20JP combination, and had a scoreboard with some pre-set scores (some very high, one 30K+, which is almost ProperPro-esque!). The game itself gave me two very difficult quotient questions (i.e. of the order what is 1045960/3756393) so I went out straight away. Suspect something's gone awry here - sort it out soon ItBox!

- Treasure Quest - again, discussed briefly on here and has been on the GamesNets. Very similar to the game of this title of yore, and I like it. Joe Public will find it tough though.

- Triple Towers £1 play - this may not be new but I hadn't noticed it before. £50JP advertised.

Not sure what has gone, but Caesar's Palace was one casualty - a great shame as this was a favourite title of mine. Thoughts on other departed games very welcome.

Crystal Maze is a complete joke when it's not wanting to payout. Well the gamesnet one is anyway. 50 golds for a fiver? Yeah, you try getting that when there are like exactly 50 golds in the dome and no more, and you just can't avoid a few silvers. Rigged beyond belief! Of course it has to do this as you can always get a go at the endgame, but it still irks me :P

got 2 ifvers from crystal maze...im wondering wether it can be chased as one of them was blatently readier than the other.

still have an original crytal maze in a pub on the outskirts of a major city. Needless to say its fixed, but still thoroughly entertaining to play nonetheless...

with ITBOXES it would be a good idea to list all games with each issue on a thread that is for reference only. Indeed a reference only section to the forum would be a good idea under headings.

A class game which as per usual has been ruined. Some of the games I have noticed are just plain impossible to complete in the time given.

And I know i'm being picky but why can't they make it play like the real thing i.e getting at least 1 game in every zone, instead of giving you 4 games in 1 zone then straight to the dome.

The one I saw last night was OK so hopefully this was a local issue not a general bug.

Shame about Cesears Palace. I always like a mix if Questions & Challenges right back to when I 1st played the Mating Game.
CP gives good value for 50p and gives a very fair chance of the end game, and the way the end game is structured you have to work hard for anything over 50p and the greedier you get the higher chance of losing it all. Very surprised this has gone. :(

Hope I've got the quotes right here - I played another today which had no such fault, so I think it must have been an odd one-off bug.
