i was down in one of my local gambaling arcades today:bigeyes16:

and i noticed an old dusty £4 jackpot machine called collossus (excuse my spelling) tucked away in a corner

so i thought i would try a few quid in it i imagined that a maximum of £5 would be required to get the jackpot if not less

i was horrified to find that once i had put close to £20 in it with out so much as a decent feature at this point i walked away empty pocketed and depressed.

so my question is how the hell can a frickin lousy £4 jackpot machine take that much???

[Chris_010292]

First off mate, do u know what the manufacturer of the machhine was? was it jpm?

[mrmystery83]

The payout could have been set low. But back when those machines were used everywhere you thought you were rich if you won £2! So you didn't mind not getting JP. Forcing them is always tricky unless you just drop lucky.

Are you sure it wasn't just a crap, downgrade chip for that heap of JPM crap that was out about 8 years ago?

i am not sure of the manufature i am pritty sure it wasn't a jpm creation i can tell you that there is an identical clone of it called THE BIG APPLE.

Well if it plays anything like The Big Apple then it really must be complete TURD lol

99% sure this ones an Empire.

[joshjy]

ahh yes empire seems to ring a bell

[mrmystery83]

Yeah think they did The Big Apple 1st and that's why it had the Empire State Building on it. If i remember rightly.

Ye know im almost certain this was emulated but ive searched the downloads to no avail..I think i may have it on disc somewhere.

I think i've got in on an old disc myself. There were a few problems with the emulation though, i think mine wouldn't run properly.

[joshjy]

if you do could you upload it?

i want to see how much this little bugger can handle without a jackpot:bigeyes08:

[todd1970]

Sure ill have a look for it the now

[joshjy]

thanks m8:bigeyes04:

[todd1970]

Hmmm I have a problem (apart from being an asshole i mean) This is what i have in the folder but when i load it up it says Error ROM file not found.

Have looked everywhere for the ROM dosent seem to exist

[CrAzYbAr]

It's an MDM, Cloud.
Even worse!!!!!!!!!!
Just type "Colossus" into the Dowbloads Search and play away!

[todd1970]

OMGGGGGGG im such a dawbir..Searching the downloads and spelling it collosus instead of colossus returned very different results

The shame of it if only id went to school now

Yeah, both are Mdm. Both are cracking machines on low jackpots if you ask me. Jackpot is not your target but you will find after a few quid it will happily gamble upto 45 nudges as long as you haven't taken anything along the way.

Cash attack via the hidden features all the way.

[SkBurner]

I've used the links given above to download the files, but when I start it up in MFME v1, 2, 3.2, 9.4 I get the error message; ROM file not found.

Anyone got any ideas?

This is a great machine when trying to force, had many hours of fun on it (and lost a lot of cash! what joy..)

Cheers

Hey Sk have ye downloaded both the DX layout and the ROM ? and extracted them into the same folder ?
