: Can someone think of something else that might be at work to make Hamish
: think something is wrong?
Age?
I fired up the original game and played the start of Couch Fishing ten times (each time from alt cmd new level but I didn't restart the app). I recorded whether or not a Trooper was placed in front of the three switches (there is a placement at all three). In clockwise direction starting from the left most switch here are the results (1=present, 0=absent)
100
110
100
100
100
110
100
010

Granted, it's not as much randomness as I thought.
Here are the results for Aleph One (same conditions)
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
001

You can imagine my shock on the 9th attempt. Floored me. ;)
Not sure if this helps but there just doesn't appear to be the same variation in placement in Aleph One as in the original game.
I can do more testing if you like.
Cheers
Hamish
