I wouldn't have thought of you as a Dorling Kindersley kind of man QM - but good work.

Brilliant stuff, if only I'd known, if only I'd known.

Knowing if you could get more people in 162 Astorias or 3 Wembley Stadiums was the key.

There was a 50p and a £1 game. It was actually good fun this game. Yes it's all coming back. Six green things for a pound. I once had the purpley things due to a load of spawn for £6. The wonderful ACE symbols paid £20.

1) What was the jackpot sequence like QM?
2) Any chance of this being MAMEd some time soon?

Jackpot sequence was fairly mundane. Actually the jackpot was pretty tricky, but you could 4 and 6 it all day.
Stupid punters. Telly all the week, screw the wife Saturday

i think QM has covered that piece of 90's nostalgia pretty well!!

all i would add is that i still use many of the mnemonics i employed for Treasure Quest to this day, having learned them like times tables!!

Good idea but there was 1 almighty flaw in it.
Another almighty flaw was the version that didn't actually deduct the wins from the compensator, so it ony ever got more and more positive !!!
:D
Some one got there < & > mixed up in the code - doh!
Not many of that version got on site though.
Great game tho.

Talking of bully, i saw one offer 200pts for a bullseye the other day. I'd never seen that before, anyone else seen that? I was on 186 at the time so i actually had to miss the bullseye!
