i'd say that money spent on design is better spent than money on the licence for the latest flash-in-the-pan.
I generally agree too, licenced games 'tend' to be rushed out with corners cut etc. Look at the re-release (multi-quiz) version of Bullseye, they've got the Tony Green and Jimmy samples in there, but the overal design is pretty poor (although as I mentioned elsewhere, the 'Jerky' version, pays off!)
"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
Having played this at three or four locations over the last few days, my initial view is the same as yours. Nice graphics and gameplay but it doesn't look to have much potential for long-term earnings.
Even if the bank builds over time to enable a JP to be won (which I doubt, given the ease with which it pays out £1 or £2), I imagine it would be of the random DOND variety (i.e. could pay out to anyone at the right time) rather than of the e.g. TIOLI variety (i.e. will pay out to the first decent player to stroll by).
I think it re-uses the FFQ question bank, but I doubt even INCA would bother with this one given the gameplay.
[quote="""]After many games and careful deliberation (!!) I have to agree with Istenem, this game is the most effective and playable that has emerged in a fair time.
What i meant was........... it is a well designed game with good potential for punters to get involved and therefore possibly lead to some cash for the boys.
My opinion has been seen to be correct as i have seen several itboxes being played this week and mostly they were playing "Back 2 Skool". Whether it will be any more accessible thann lots of other stuff surely remains to be seen
although i have just spoken to a fellow player, often mentioned on here but not a contributer, who claims to have reached £5 and got through to friday!!

I made it to Friday on one game at the weekend and still only won £2 - the timetable simply gave me a list of the subjects I had already reached A in.
Aye pretty much the same for me this afternoon although when Thursday threw out a solid day of the two subjects I had already achieved eminence in, I started to hit the screen randomly to crap out but hit the right answers and then played properly again and on Friday it did serve up another A to make the £3.
played on this today won a tenner,was three away from the final general studies question it was on wednesday of the second week so if enough money played on it it is do-able
