i vaguely remember playing a machine many years ago, i can see a picture of what it looks like in my head but cant remember anything specific about it lol i think it might have been called calypso but i havent been able to find anythin on the internet about it or whether you can get it on an emulator... can anyone help please

was it hi-lo calypso by bgt?? have a look at the bgt flyers, its similar to some of those, the win trail was the same as the recently released ding dong bells!!!

thanks for your help... its definately not the picture in your sig and im not sure if it was hi lo calypso... im sure it was a £5 jackpot and was 5p a spin at the time, it had like a tropical island kind of theme i think. i hope its real and not something ive randomly dreamt lol


edit - i have just downloaded that one above and it looks like it could be the one... doesnt actually look like a machine so i cant be sure and it wont run to play it either?

Calypso, Cash Flow, Tin Can Alley, The Vikings yadda yadda yadda, a relatively modern quiet backwater of Maygayishness. Pre Elegance (just, Vikings was released in elegance cabs, all other in the one before, The blue surround Simpsons cab with Pink doughnuts, can't remember name). The nudge music if it's The Calypso I'm thinking of, which is probably the one you're thinking of, is the same nudge music as Mario Kart 64 and is indeed ripped from Mario Kart.

i always used to think that costa del cash was called calypso, not sure why.

the only other machine i can think of with a tropical theme to mind is tropicana club. Old barcrest and newish empire.

Well this was the BGT one here...
Hi-Lo Calypso - bingo / arcade fruit machine with a Caribian feel

it definately wasnt the one above as i remember always getting on the feature board and that doesnt have one... i have just managed to get the classic one working with help from a pm and i think it is actually that one, the sounds its making seem familiar like the palm trees etc so many thanks for your help people much appreciated:D i guess there are no real ones around anymore?? must be 10 years or so ago i played it
