# okay it's stopped working now
but i was on a long long run of success, every time i clicked on one side or the other he'd change direction.

Did I ever tell you about the time I was playing a fruit machine based on monopoly, it was a 20p a go one a few years ago, the jackpot was £10 but if you got onto the monopoly feature you could go around and win more by getting a series of wins (ie a win + repeat chances)
Well anyway if you went around the board and survived without getting sent to jail or declared bankrupt or if you wanted to collect a prize when you got to it (landing on the property squares offerd a bigger and bigger win as you went around the board).
Anyway I got the Whitechapel or whatever the other brown property is and then carried on and on, landed on a chance and got sent back to old kent road.
This gave me a set (60p in winnings) and a repeat chance.
I kid you not, absolutely true, i got repeat after repeat after repeat, 60p a time it was utterly ridiculous i was laughing and embarrassed and i honestly thought the machine had got broken because I ended up with about £32 by the end of it - you work it out over FIFTY repeats. Try and imagine that. 50 it just went on and on forever.
The manager of the arcade came and watched he must have thought i was scamming him or something.

# At University where they had £200 and £150 jackpot machines
there was one in the same part as some pool tables and i played an awful lot of pool at uni (and pinball and the odd fruit machine or two) and people would get very serious with the fruit machines.
It was not uncommon say if someone got onto the special feature of the fruit machine and got up to say £20 and decided to collect it for one of the 'serious' people to recognise from all their experience/moneyspent playing the machine that it was likely to pay out more and actually buy out this persons position on the machine - give them £25 quid and then carry on from the £20 position on the fruit machine.
Sometimes getting all the way to the jackpot, and sometimes only getting a few pounds more than they started but more often than not they'd double their payoff cost.

# tiz midi embedded
might have fluffed the code but it works on mine (i.e. 6) it takes a while though

# for some reason
it came up as a quicktime embedded thingy, not a normal bgsound type thing
(I helped save b3ta! bananaman, Wed 8 Jan 2003, 21:22, archived)
# aha
never done midi on a page before. I wasn't sure which to use. I normally build corporate sites

# whatever it is
i can't hear it
(I helped save b3ta! 100% kitten better than ever, Wed 8 Jan 2003, 21:28, archived)
# There is no answer to this question
Apparrently embedding is the only method recommended by w3c as bgsound is only supported in ie 4+ it would also appear that third party software will always try and place a controller on a page using embedded objects.

YOu can please some of the people some ot the time...
