Another missing link in my personal all time want list for FME.

Download From RETROFRUIT (nb slow loading in notes)

As you know previously I released a classic for "Top Take", the older brother of this machine. Now the rom has made an appearance from Top the Lot I can complete the set at last

Design wise they are practically identical. However for Top the Lot the JP was increased from £1.50 to £2 all cash (with the introduction of a JP ditty, a synthesised version of "The Entertainer") and the gamble tweaked so the top win was no longer all or nothing.

For me this machine has the edge over Top Take. Although almost identical, the increased JP and missing "all or nothing" make the machine much better. Now instead of only playing for Top Takes / Top the Lots there are two ways to earn, the JP can be gambled out very regularly whilst saving nudges up for Top the Lots and possible mega repeaters.

A joy to work on this one, it has been completed in a very similar style to the Top Take layout from before, unsurprising really as it is based on the same layout with some tweaking!

Many thanks go to Superbank at The MPU Mecca for providing the rom that made this layout possible, plus a good quality image of the JP symbol, and to Quattrohead once again for providing the other reel scans used in both Top Take and Top the Lot.

Working on machines like this that were a big part of my childhood years is an absolute pleasure, and is what gets me out of bed in the morning FME wise.

I hope you enjoy this absolute classic machine as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Also now downloadable direct via some fruit-emu links

Roms : Fruit-Emu (Fruit Machine Emulation) - Download: - Top the Lot Roms

Layout : Fruit-Emu (Fruit Machine Emulation) - Download: - Top the Lot 1024 Classic

Remember that you need both! For readers unfamiliar with the need for this, unzip to the same directory and run the gam file from MFME. You cannot open the BIN file directly in the emulator as a layout!
