One of my favorite games in this Arcade is Wh. of Fortune too, despite the glitches it has, and there are a few! There are multiple solutions containing errors, I've found. I wish I could remember them, but I probably won't. There's one that's a song by Huey Lewis, and it says it's somebody who I can never imagine singing this hokey Huey Lewis song - maybe Robert Palmer, it might say? And a few other spelling errors or typo type errors.
But those are no big deal. But the one Sharon030161... mentioned above is one that is a big bad deal to me. That's so maddening to play the entire game and then at the end, it just sits there, with no way to submit points, and the only thing you can do is reset the game, meaning, of course, that you lose that game's points, and not just the level or round points, but all 3 levels , the entire game, ends up being all for nothing.
I've found that at least it is consistent when it will hang like this. I mean, it happens on the same puzzles each time. And I sometimes recognize them when I get them, which is good, because I can quit the game when I see one of these that I know will hang, and I don't waste any more time on that game which will be lost in the end.
But just because I may recognize them when I see them (and I don't always) does not mean I remember them now, or I'd list them here so we could all jump ship when we see them come up.
One that I THINK I do remember is DAVID COPPERFIELD/ CHARLES DICKENS... I'm fairly certain that that is one of them that will pi*s you off at the end by not letting you submit your points so you lose the whole game. So if you get that one, I would say just RESET, don't even try playing it... I think it's the same with it every time. Plus it's a Round One puzzle, so that's good that you don't have to waste any of the other levels before you get to it. Unfortunately, they're not all that way... some of the bad ones are in Level 2 or even 3, so we really should make note of them when we get them, so we can quit them when we see them.
Because it doesn't matter which round they show up in, if we don't recognize them ... even if it's in the first round, it's just as bad, if we don't know it when we see it and reset the game.
Because I'm sure that if a particular puzzle does that to you once, it will do it every other time you get that puzzle.
So I hope people will make a note of any specific puzzles (solutions) that have this error and share them here in the forum, so we can all avoid them!
THANKS!
