anyone else win a jackpot out of quizvaders yesterday?

no didn't think so!!
moving from the £10 to the £20 the scenery changes to space with the headline 'close encounters of the jackpot kind'
ah things aint what they used to be, that's for sure.

I used to love that game - a top notch combination of a proper challenge and a Jackpot that was realistically available.

I assume you mean you won on one of these software simulations that I keep meaning to try rather than on a real machine somewhere? If the latter I'd be tempted to travel to see it for nostalgia reasons alone!

Not to keen an the old retro style of the game, i thought it looked dated when it came out. I am very surprised that the game is still doing the rounds, what machine did you see it on?

I think you are describing the recent Space Invader-style game (Alien Invaders?) that was on the ItBoxes about four or five versions ago, at the same time as Deals On Wheels. Quizvaders is a much older game.

Blimey - that is indeed a find! I remember playing this one in about 1992. I don't get up to Glasgow much but I'll bear it in mind certainly - I also have the legendary Foxy Pub Quiz to check out as well!

You won't find it in a pub, though

(not unless it's been relocated since my last visit, heh)

mr satis you would be the guest of honour at a foxy quiz and hopefully you could take on the might of glasgow's indie-pop glitterati(?)

It was off.

The Turnover which preceded it wasn't always on either (though when it was on, it was normally very good).
