Looks great tommy will that be released tomorrow? and I'm also looking forward to playing blues boys which is an all time fave of mine. Use to play the £10 ver in a shoddy arcade in grimsby and it would give a good £50/70 streak then a few after boards.

If i figure out the lamps and also sort the game lamps out,it will be ready to go,as all artwork is sorted,so it's just the big job of getting to know amber :) looking forward to tomorrow.

Thats correct and they also had a 5p £6 all cash snakes and ladders that was always dead. I remember it as they had printed the decals out for it and it looked cheap as fook. Do you remember the other arcade down freeman st? it was on your left as you was going from Riny square to town almost opposit the old job centre. Its the first place I remember playing a £10 all cash snakes and ladders. But I did like the food also in the other place and the price wasnt too bad too. Just a shame it was so dam close to my bank!!


Was that Millers? Something like that, a big guy owned it. Everything got battered in there, they had a Blue Moon that was always paying out in 10p's and a Barcrest 10 out of 10 next to a Magnificent 7... Yeah that Snakes & Ladders had a flat battery and used to pay out a massive feature on cash attack every morning... They had an Ace Pot of Gold in there, a £10 or £15 version of Big Banker, £10 version of Indiana Jones... Wasn't a bad arcade, I always remember he did raffles and double money type promotions way before the bigger places. Actually there was a Big Chief £6 all cash in there at one point.

It will be ready when its ready, I guess it's not an easy job to code an emu. I thnk it would be better to release it when it's done so people asking if its going to be ready for today I guess the answer is no. I think that having a release date might have been a bad idea but then again it gives you something to work towards to push yourself further. Just be patient and you will all have a shiny new emu to play with SOON. :wubclub:

Ok, as much as this sucks, its not ready, so will be delayed.

So go ahead Harvey and Co and say what you want. Some real life stuff has intervened and I'm not going to make apologies for it.

It sucks, its the last thing I wanted to do, but it is what it is.

It is still on its way, just be a bit late, pretend I put it on a Virgin train.

Nick, I was not going to throw stones.

As I said at DIF yesterday, the following...

All - thank you for your kind comments here and also comments in general. I have done a fair bit of thinking regards Guitar, Amber, Wizard and MFME.

Firstly, I will not be reviewing Amber as I am biased towards MFME and perhaps it will be an unbalanced review in the eyes of the scene.

I will lay off the attacks against Amber and Guitar's statements of old and start a clean slate - we will call this day zero on May 30th 2011.

If however he continues to attack Wizard in the fashion that he was doing and make his rash statements, then anything posted from today is fair game for commentary and responses. I am not going to give myself a vow of silence to not talk against any future wild statements that might be said, just the historic ones.


That is a fair platform to kick off from I think.

No worries Guitar :)

Good luck with the job-hunting and so on. I shall continue to look forward to a release whenever it comes.

After all, I'm getting something for nothing. I'm sure most others will agree :)

Yeah thats the one, he did have some good offers in there well before the mainstream did them. I also use to play down the beach comber they had a £6 cash nudge nudge wink wink. I always lost then my landlady sharon would go on it and empty it. She got her rent twice a week haha.

Well on a Virgin Train at least we'll get it. :v_SPIN:
Would be rather disappointed if it was put on an East Yorkshire bus! :biglaugh:

Hi Guitar,

People seem to be asking Wizard about the release of MFME after your news and he has responded.

At worse, Amber should be no more then six weeks away taking into account the day you promised the release from the day you posted.

Can you confirm that it will be released within that window as it should account for any delays, so we are saying July 14th ( ish ) 2011?

Rather then the wooly statement that was given by you, can you confirm what status it is at and when you last did some coding on it.

We are at day zero plus two with your comments and a fresh start. You built this hype machine to resemble EPEE, so in fairness I think my questions are non-attacking and non-biased.

The people of this forum don't give a shit about Virgin trains, they are convened about the Amber Publicity Machine that you have started.

Thank you.

Current status is that a couple of bits need finishing and a bit of polish. The emulation itself is complete and has been for some time. Its the editor which is incomplete. The last time something was done to it was last night.

With a bit of luck it will be out by the end of this weekend, if not, then the weekend after. DEFINATELY before July.

Thank you for taking time for the update - I think you've just saved some people at DADs from commiting mass suicide.
