I have only ever seen it once, around 1999-2000. It had 5 targets on the feature board, the middle target being the best features. You had to get 3 chips on the line to activate features, and there was a bonus on each reel. A secret I found was that getting 3 bonuses on the winline awarded jackpot. Anybody know anything about this machine at all!?

Is it barcrest jackpot gems.

[richy76]

Jolly gems sorry.

[robmaffia]

no its not jolly gems, although the cartoon imagery on it may have been similar. it had a metal pay out tray, i think it was around the 25p per play £15 jackpot era. thanks for replying richy.

Moving Targets was a Project machine, on their ELITE technology, using an Intel 386i chip. Big things were mooted about that board, but they didn't make many. I guess it wasn't very cost effective.

Also in the same cab and on ELITE was a machine called BALLS OF STEEL. A very good game as it happened. I see one or two around the seaside now and then.

God I'm good ;-)

Oh and the game didn't really do very well. The guy who designed the game is a mate of mine, and was the 'P' in QPS, for those in the know....

I'm gonna write a book on the UK AWP industry one day. It'll be good to empty my head of all this shite.

Out of curiosity. What does QPS stand for?

Cheers Mike.
