"You Have Won ....."

Post by David Healy »

Don't think I have seen this one discussed anywhere on here yet.

It would be most unlike me to get to play anything before anyone else.

Has anyone else seen it? You start off with a prize of £50 so it only goes downhill from there. Only managed one game so can't really report too much.

No, I've never ever seen or played this game, seems like a fascinating concept.
If I'd thought of this idea, I'd have sent it into Games Warehouse, unfortunately someone else thought of it first.
I got offered a £19 deal after a few questions, so watch out for the deals that pop up from time to time.

I found this on test at one site between Christmas and New Year, but otherwise haven't seen it, and (from the Paragon 5.2 line-up posted elsewhere) presume that for whatever reason it hasn't made the games line-up this time round. A pity, as I did enjoy it, although it's very much a no-margin-for-error game.

It came and went very quickly. It was an interesting idea, a bit like Fantasy Football Quiz but where you always start at the top of the league. The killer however was that you moved down a prize for each wrong guess (the equivalent of losing points on FFQ rather than getting 0 points) so two impossible questions could easily move you from £50 to Game Over - this certainly happened to me quite a few times when I managed to find the game.

In the end I'd guess the main problem though was that it was ludicrously difficult for punters - it was inconceivable they would ever win a prize of any kind and at £1 a go that is just not on. It was also strangely underpromoted - hidden away on a back screen.

Got £50 out of one in Manchester (just off Oxford Road) on February 12. Only seen it one other place. Doubt I'll ever see it again....

saw the £20 version today on a shiny new red paragon. i didn't play it as there were plenty of other titles to see to first. but this was the only new addition to the common menu.
