Loved this machine. It used to play Toccata and Fugue in D Minor when you got on the feature.

Its Electrocoin I believe so currently not emulatable.

I recently saw a Labyrinth II in an arcade in London on £25 JP. The machine was shit and that is being generous. The higher JP totally removed all the fun out of the game.

i agree it is a good machine,i have seen one recently at southend,still a few about,can't recall who made it

[spice2003]

Yeah its done by electrocoin so not emulatable.it was exactly the same as pyramid.just a question,
How many repeats have ya ever seen when ya get to the middle and it gives ya jackpot repeater.

[bennie22]

I don't ever remember getting the jackpot repeat on it

But if my memory serves me right it was dead easy to get jackpot off skill chance.

Pyramid, Pennies from Heaven, Labyrinth and Dungeon Master were all Electrocoin hi-techs that spring to mind. Electrocoin churned these out in the days when hi-techs had really cleared video screens off the arcade floor space. Oh dear, how sorry things have become now, all Xs, Bars and Os. Maybe a 7 if you're lucky.

Anyway a lot of casual players and more regular players enjoyed these machines. They still had some of the old psudo skill tendencies. Rigged nudge gambles (sharp intake of breath) e.t.c but overall as far as fruit machines go, I seem to remember they gave a fair game. Better than a blimin' Bar X £2/£10 taking £76 to roll in Xs.

Feature 1, Feature 2, can anyone still remember what they are? I don't think I ever had a repeat from the centre, although I'm pretty sure it could repeat.



I think they were released just around the time of the introduction of the £8 jackpot, I could be wrong on that. I saw a few £10 conversions.

So Duplu, a £25 Labyrinth. Same machine upgraded? Still Electrocoin? or some dodgy bootleg crappy ROM to fleece everyone blind.

shame u they it can't b emulators but cheers for the info

[dilos]

[Absolution]

Possibly my favourite machine of all time, must try and get hold of one

[Logopolis]

Yeah dilos, I remember Labyrinth. They had it in Magic City a few years ago, right at the back near that sunday sport machine and the red hot pokers. There is Sphinx and Pyramid aswell which are similar machines.

I used to play the sphinx machine the most out of these. Probably up there with bullseye as my favourite machine of all-time. I remember feature three was an easy jackpot if you were good at stopping spinning reels.

The most I got if i recall correctly from the centre feature was £30 (4 repeats @ £6 jp) I remember I didn't even have to get to middle as I found the secret key after a few spins on the board

Electrocoin made some really good machines at that time , I remember they had another one called cloud 9 or silver lining or something with a massive circular cashpot full of 10p instead of a feature board. Back in the days were skill and knowledge could tip the odds more in your favour and more importantly entertain you while playing
