fun, but very difficult flash game.

Graham

I doubt anyone here could finish it...I just want to see the end level but man, it's frustratingly hard!

After a full 24 hours of fustrating game play, I still have not cracked it. Do I win a year's subscription to Canadian Poker Player just for trying?

Graham

I think it's a trick, and that the game is unbeatable.

rroarr

This game is addicting. Almost more than poker.

Nothing to worry about, you're probably just addicted to the Peter Cetera song.

The strategy guide is pretty hilarious too.

Wasn't that song from one of the Karate Kid films?

Bon-SAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

I don't get it. I was able to beat it in just over an hour.

I read the strategy guide first though. It really helped!

I think you guys are overanalyzing it. Try to take a step back from it and forget completely about your habitual odds-calculating.

hork.

After a month's hiatus, I think I'm ready to get at it again. I also ordered the strategy guide from ebay. Wish me luck.

I have gone there a few times, and everytime, it appears I am on the last board. Some kind of glitch, anyway, I basically stroll over to the crown and it says You Win, and the credits roll. Weird. So, basically it takes me about 5 seconds to complete the game. I rule :twisted:

Graham

that's the point guys..it's a joke game the credits are longer than the game a la the classic animated short film "Bambi vs Godzilla"

I have been bamboozled.

Poker players are too deceptive by nature to be able to "read" their sarcasm. 8)

Hahaha, that's the funniest post of the whole board so far! lol, just some good natured ribbing Jeremy.

Jeremy

Well damnit, there should be some kind of prize then!

ScottyZ

Well, that post and 4 others gets you out of the "Vince Van Patten" category.

Is that a prize?

I find it sort of sad that the first *honest* post in the thread is the one that takes a ribbing...

Jeremy

I need no pity! I am strong like bull, smart like tractor!(insert faux russian accent here)

SupaMuncher

What boggles my mind is why someone would bother putting that sort of thing together. Strange.

turn up those speakers!

ScottyZ

Is the optimal strategy to spin the revolver or not?

ScottyZ

Dan808

well, i'm sure it doesn't make a difference....tho i've seemingly had better luck not spinning

ScottyZ

Assuming it simulates an actual revolver, it does make a difference. But I get what you mean... it may just be there for effect instead of actually affecting the game.

ScottyZ

vinsanity

Optimal strategy is difentely to spin the revolver. Without the spin, you have at least a one in 5 shot of dying. with the spin, you always have a one in 6. If there's been 5 straight misses, wouldn't you want to spin the revolver?
