Does anyone remember(or maybe it never existed) a quiz machine based on the concept of darts where you had to answer questions to finish 501, 301 e.t.c?

Possibly then mate, in my local when I was living in Brighton they had a "Every second Counts" machine. Quality.

They had one on Ebay last week selling for £180, if only I had the room. (and cash).

The good old days, when a machine was dedicated to one game and one game only.

Varsity in Sunderland used to have one with a game called sports quiz. Used to go straight to the machine before going to the bar to drop a tender then use it for the first round! I miss that game.

Used to do the same with the hangman machine, choosing the wrong letter gave you the chance of a mystery next time around.
