Hello all!

Been a bit busy getting everything together. The arcade is going well, everyone seems to like it.

I have been busy building my website, and although not quite there, i would like you guys to have a look and see if there are games you fancy emulating?

I can send as many photo's as you like.

The website is www.reelfruits.co.uk

I have already put a link in for the mecca, will do for this site too if that is ok, so please let me know if that is ok with the powers that be!

Any suggestions to the site let me know!

Many thanks to everyone who has shown support, i really do appreciate it.

ALL machines are available to dump roms from etc.

Many thanks,

Speak Soon,

Dave;)

Very very nice Dave..i would think id died and gone to heaven if i walked into your arcade with a pocket full of nuggets.

Why oh why cant arcades have a good mix of class machines like these (for me) and all the other pish that seems to go into arcades these days lo-techs B3's etc.

One day soon hopefully ill make it down to your arcade.

Hi

I would think that the main reason that there are more arcades like this is the lack of avilible machines to stock them with, the other being the lack of arcade owners with the sort of vision that Treasure has to see that what the majority of players want is amusment when thay play and not a machine that will take £10 or more quid off you in no time and offer no wins or features.

The machines on there are incredible. Mouth watering selection, like in the bad ole days!!!

Every machine there has playability (the keyword). If I'm ever passing I pop in for a look.

[CrAzYbAr]

Would it be a good idea to get a URL that sounds more like Mr P's? Thats the only thing I believe that needs improvement at the moment
I hope to make it down sometime in March providing that February's gambling goes ok lol.....I need to make £30 or so this month then it will make the trip to yours worth it, if I have some more nuggets

[brucegeorge]

[FRUITJUNKIE1971]

Had a look at the site the other day, looks very good Treasure Island.

Hope to visit your arcade soon, and also I notice on your website you offer a service for the restoration of classic fruit machines. I got PCP's "What a carry on" fruit machine, it needs to be repaired so will be looking into this service with interest.

Dave, save my homework lol

Are you the same as the Dave who has the arcade on the IoW?

[treasure island]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS SO FAR!

In no certain order, just as i remember...

Ady, please dont tell me you chucked bits away!! lol:cry: Yes you are right its not easy keeping them going so restoring them is no easy task. I am the same on from IOW, i have basically moved it all over here.

Thank you for putting me on jackpotty! REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

What a carry on!! I sold one recently, yes be happy to help! Are you from IOS? I think we have spoken, briefly, over PM.

JPM = Juicy Payout Machines...ha ha ha:biglaugh: yes you are right, that is why i have them, all on good programs too, just added Ricochet to the collection.

Thanks for ALL the comments, if you come accross any bugs let me know, i have not finished yet, i want to add links to here, and other emu sites.

Also going to add my 'wanted' list up. There will be a link so people can submit there wanted list to me as i have a lot of trade contacts so you never know....on the lookout for a few for you guys as it is.

Super 7 will let you know when up, what a penalty (he he)! sorry couldn't resist!

Ady, if you ever come across any bits please think of me, will pay of course!!

Cheers Dave
