:bigeyes04:hi guys
My first thread .....i was wondering if anyone would be willing to try and sort out the "bullseye" project machine rom and get it working. I used to play that machine all day for months and would love to have a emulator of it .
There was another machine that i used to play that was in the arcade at the same time, I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called, i think it was another project machine it was either called" happy days" or" jukebox " you went around the board to the end which you were either given 3 or 6 pound win and if your record was a hit you got another win the machine looked like a jukebox. And was similar to the bullseye jackpot feature were you hit bull and got another repeat until you missed.
I would love it if someone knew which machine it was im talking about and if it has a emulator but i very much dowt it ,,,,,
cheers all

Welcome Benno..the 2 machines your talking about the first one 'Bullseye' by Project is being worked on at the moment im pretty sure.

The second one the way your describing it sounds like 'Money Spinner' by Empire although that wouldnt tie in with the era of Bullseye but thats the only one i can think of that is similar.
Mmmmmm...Sandy ive 'ad her ye know. :)

Hi Benno123. Could you just clarify which Project Bullseye machine it is you remember as it would appear there are two! The first is the one everyone else seems to know with the scores going up the side (bonus on 30 or 40) and of course bully and that old *twatter* jim bowen. The second is the one I remember with the little house on the midle reel which was wild, £3.00 jackpot for three bullseye's with a repeat / spin option and played a cool tune. The other *fruits* on the reels were blue sevens, bars and cherries. It was very similar to 777 wild by project with blue sevens as jackpot (another machine I can find little info about) !! Please let me know athough im guessing you speak of the former !! JACKAL.

Jackal you're talking about Hit the Six, which was by Project and has been emulated.

Benno - there was a half-finished layout of Bullseye posted on here a while back. Someone is also working on a layout, with better artwork and 6-pound token ROMs. It's the Bullseye with a Skill Shot at 30, 20 for Bull and so on.

There's another Bullseye with a Boost at 40. Can't remember the name, only saw a couple back in the day.

I think the other game you're on about was Happy Days, which was similar to Bullseye. No layout or ROMs for this. Then you had Fun on the Run, The Heat Is On, Chico the Bandit etc.

*EDIT*

Link to thread with half-finished Bullseye layout, a few posts down. Runs in MFME v3.2 -

Thanks for the reply Steve, but 'hit the six' isn't quite right! I've checked it out and there's no wild and no repeat chance on jackpot although the rest of the machine is pritty much the same. ahh well, no one believe's me! I keep searching incase I ever find one.... Gone are the days of roll in Bullseye's down at the local arcade..... 3 repeats.... and twelve quid in the back pocket !!

Maybe worth contacting project coin, still run by the same guys who set it up acording to the website


While browsing their site it mentions they had a design your own machine comp, wonder what the winner was?

Excellent suggestion Jaybee!! I have indeed e-mailed project coin with questions on "Bullseye", "Wild 777" and asked them to confirm which designed machine won in there competition. Hopefully I will start getting some answers on these Project machines and possibly even some pictures...... I didn't want to appear to cheeky in my first e-mail, but if they do remember them I might then ask if they have some ROM files?? J.

:bigeyes16: hi all sorry its took me so long to post reply ive been away on work commitments
after reading the reply posts, the bullseye machine i played was the first one with the numbers up the side and skill bonus at 40 . really would love a finished rom of that one
The second machine i didnt know the name too , after reading the replies "hit the six " rings a bell in my mind and it is a shame that this machine hasnt been emulated cos it was the best machine i ever played i won thousands from that machine "and put thousands in it" but allways walked away with a pocket full of tokens and pound coins.
Cheers lads for your replys

Welcome back benno..bullseye i believe is being worked on at the moment and Hit the six has only just been emulated after years of searching for the ROM.

You can download it here. Fruit-Emu (Fruit Machine Emulation) - Download: - Hitthesix
