All righty, we're set to deal out some more cyber-cash and fantastic virtual prizes on Net Poker.
A few notes...
\ Chris Wolvie's the current champion with CY$12,600 plus a Greek vacation.
\ This is Game 14. So if you played in the main game of our 11th, 12th or 13th episode, please sit on your hands and let someone else play. Not sure when you last played? Check out our archives.
\ Outlaw's jackpot is up to CY$102,500 -- more than enough to get someone into the Quarter Million Playoff. It takes at least 100-grand to get into the tournament of champions.
Now for the qualifying round. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, get to challenge the champion.
Team RockTrax has enjoyed watching the Starcade DVD ever since it arrived. So, in honor of that, we thought we'd take a page from their endgame for our qualifying question.
In a time period of 30 seconds, how many points did I, Doug Morris, score on Galaxian (from the Namco Museum Vol. 3 compilation on the Sony PlayStation)?
(time passes)
OK, time's up. For those who guessed 5000 or higher, you're too kind. The right answer...
QUALIFYING ANSWER |
...1290. And that wasn't enough to win the RB5X robot. Oh well. Who's the closest?
Joe Van Ginkel 1250
The game show man's back. Then, as now, Joe, no need to worry about a trapdoor giving way. And who else will challenge Chris Wolvie?
John Menjes 1440
John -- a first-timer. To everyone else, thanks for playing. We'll try to get to an audience game here.
As for Chris, Joe and John, they're going to play the percentages, shoot for the stars and go on a treasure hunt in search of a jackpot. (sniff sniff) Do you smell a theme here? Find out next on Net Poker.

(heartbeat sfx) (some guy in an Emile Autouri costume stands next to a safe holding the cyber-money in the Outlaw's Jackpot)
The ghost of Jay Stewart: Ladies and gentlemen, this bonded security agent has just been hired to keep an eye on our Outlaw's Jackpot -- currently worth CY$102,500.
(fade to three-shot of the players as the heartbeat sfx continue)

Doug: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart. Hellooooooooo everybody and welcome to Net Poker. We've come close a number of times to giving away the Outlaw's Jackpot. Let's see if we can go all the way and see someone win four Deuces in the endgame. Only one of these players will go to Deuces Wild Poker round. Here to introduce our champ and the challengers is D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a pair of blue jeans and an Emile Autouri Fan Club t-shirt)
Doug: OK, I'm trying to figure out the wardrobe for today.
D.J.: Well, tonight's champion will be going on a -- treasure hunt.
Doug: Why is it that the crowd laughs at your jokes but groans at mine?
D.J.: I bribed 'em.
Doug: Figures. Who's here to play?
D.J.: Our challengers tonight are John Menjes and Joe Van Ginkel. And our current champ -- with CY$12,600 and a trip to Greece -- is Chris Wolvie.

Doug: After the fifth question, you'll each take a turn at the video screen where D.J. is standing to try and accumulate more points.
