Download Impulse: Frantic 25p/£25 (Mute) v1

Coooooool.

Hopefully the sounds for this turn up...

Ta much, likewise hopefully the sounds will turn up some day.

Very rare machine, I'm guessing it failed test back in the day. 

Leicester Thomas's used to have it, circa 1998 I'd say. The hi/lo gamble odds are supposed to be totally fair. It can control what number it lands on to the extent if you survive the odds, it can pick say a 6 or 7 more often when dead. 

The little arcade games are a fair bit easier to play on a computer's numpad than the fiddly little buttons Impulse put on the cabinet. First play on the emu and I get a jackpot (+repeat!) from Mr. Slim aka Snake, quite apt as I think the Nokia 3310 was rocking the mobile phone world around about the time this was released. 

The coins for arcade game mechanic is a little bit confusing and there's no feel of you can blag it, you'll get it when the machine is good and ready and not before. However if very lucky you can top out the trails before the machine really 'wants' to give up a jackpot.

I tried to get it into test and failed miserably. Just a lot easier to practice the games that way than have to keep buying them out in real play. 

Anyway, breath of fresh air this one. Cheers to all involved.
