I was considering a DX at one point but the only pics I had were taken from an eBay auction, and when stitched together there were some huge gaps, so I gave up :)

Looking forward to playing this ;)

I have allways wondered if this is true skill. I have never played this machines because I havent found one yet so I will be looking forward to playing it.

Keep up the good work.

Is skill shuffle emulated yet ?

I have allways wondered if this is true skill.

It appears to be, I had several goes on the Classic layout on MFMEv2 with VERY low delay figures [about 50], and managed a JP every time. It does make it FAR more difficult when not ready though, so don't expect any bonuses after a JP, and far less 'ready filled in' squares.

Is skill shuffle emulated yet ?


Not AFAIK. It would surely be possible if the ROMs were about. Isn't Skill Shuffle an Impact machine by Pure Leisure, or am I thinking of something else?

Doesnt skill shuffle use a pressure sensitive pad which would be close to impossible to emulate? Only way I could think it could be done is to use up and down mouse movements to determine the pressure button.

Mind you, its all academic as there are no roms for it

If there aren't any roms for it, how has Barcrest managed to play it on a classic version on MFME2?

, and managed a JP every time. It does make it FAR more difficult when not ready though, so don't expect any bonuses after a JP, and far less 'ready filled in' squares.
?


Mind you, if it does get released I am looking forward to having a go because I havent played any skill games on FME yet, and neither has many other people come to think of it!! (lol)

Looking forward to the release!!
All The Best

I could get some decent photos of skill shuffle and zillionares challenge, as they sit next to each other in the local taxi office. Just a thought
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time

Can't wait ! I just typed in a long post then deleted it.. grrr.. Anyway - it said something like. There are no true "SKILL" games, they are all based on percentage and even quiz machines etc require only a tiny bit of skill to get questions right as the level of question (impossible to get or impossible to get right) depend on how much the machine has taken. I have seen dingbats win on them and genius walk away crying (that was me - lol - j/k)

hey james, that aint entirely true... imagin playing WWTBAM swp, and by chance just gettin the 15 questions right by guessin, very unlikely but if da ercentage aint in your favour, you still have 25% of gettin it right... unlike CLUEDO or BULLSEYE, where you have to visit rooms or hit a money ammount on da prize board, you no wot i mean and it just wont give it to you... like travelling round the board ten times but wont givre you the room you need lol.

ANYWAY

WWTBAM SWP doesnt always need fifteen questions, it can narrow the number of points per question waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down so you need to answer much more questions, like any other SWP game if it dont wanna pay it doesnt pay :)

I'm sure thats not the case. IMHO it is 15 questions for a JP, although the start of the 'prize questions' can vary a bit, from 16000 points up to 125000 or so.

As for Bullseye, mentioned above, that is seriously dodgy sometimes. You can stop it on Bullseye say and it thinks about 3 seconds and gives you single 1 :)

The Prize Board is pretty fixed too, TBH I normally aim for £2 or £3 [normally get a prize board without a problem within 4 credits], and break evens or make a quid. The £2 isn't too bad, £3 can be quite tight sometimes.

UNfortunately WWTBAM can cheat in the most dastardly, despicable way. It *can* ask more than 15 questions. I have seen it with my own eyes.

It was a long time ago, but it definitely can do it. 125,000 to 187,500, or something like that. Just to avoid giving an extra couple of quid. Mean. I'd love to play it in 'test' mode and really tease it, always getting the right answer.

"You've just increased your points" - 999,999 to 999,999.01
Hmmmmmmmm.
There must be some mean spoilers as well.
what is 2364526345623456325 to the power of 3475324634532464645623?
You have half a second to answer.

Bullseye is a poo. I always go for the extra quid. If I don't get it (i.e it cheats), collect and run away.

These games are just a bit of fun. Most of them have failsafe backup plans in place to stop 'pros' winning all the cash!

This is totally correct, I answered the £250,000 question once and got it correct only to be presented with a £375,000 question without being given the chance to collect. There was never a £375,000 step on the prize ladder. I of course got this question wrong, as it was so obscure, but often wonder if I would have got a £438,000 question if I had got the previous one right.
