Fat Spanner returns

[JG]

Hello and bloop.

It appears that the people who make Bullseye have invented a Deal or No dealesque game. Take your pick.

A quick summary.

A grid of 20 boxes. You pick a box and have to make so many picks to get to the banker's offer. Each box will give a question and on occassions extra life. A different value is hidden behind each box. So essentially you're looking at answering 17 true or false style questions to get a sniff of a prize. A continue is usually offerred. True or false, very golden boot.


Anyway, this was on an Itbox, so I'm sure someone else has played this. First go, and I got awarded a 'Take your pick' bonus which guarantess the 'endgame' after about 12 questions correct, I had 2 extra lives remaining and I was made an offer of £1.30. For some reason I panicked and hit collect. The machine revealed a £10 in my box and I thought POO!

Now look, I'd been playing on line poker and I was tired and was keeping half an eye on an AWP and didn't really know the game and I mean that £10 isn't necessarily not fixed is it? Not like DonD AWP which seem genuinely random....I mean I get anything over £1 on an SWP and I reach for the collect button sharpish. I nearly died of shock when I got £4 on Bullseye once.


To be more succint...did I balls things up?>


Good forum this, lots of interesting reading. SWP professionals. Wowser. Wooosh. Scary stuff. I'm an AWP blooper. Fragmented. Did I balls up?

who knows?

this game is so horribly unsophisticated that i doubt many people on here play it at all. i certainly don't. it is just possible that the game is true (i.e. you have a true %age chance of picking one of the good boxes) but this weary cynic doubts it.

It's been out for absolutely ages, and is appallingly bad. Leave well alone!

I agree with my learned friends. I doubt the game is "true" - if you'd continued you wouldn't have won £10, I'm certain. This is a horribly poor clone of DOND, which is actually a very good and fair game most of the time (and offers a decent chance of £10 on the whole). Don't play Take Your Pick in other words.

Thankyou, you've put my mind at rest.

I would have thought you'd have had no hesitation with that question YE?



I'd love to do the whole Question 'Researching' job, even just for a day. Where do they find the inspiration?
