Ok this one isnt as bad as i first thought. there is genuine effort there to support his case rather than just advertising his stuff for ebay.

Sorry i dont own any machines i have wife 2000 at the moment which seems to block any attempts to even look at a fruity in the pub let alone have one i could call my own.

EDIT] - Confused Holy Smoke for another machine

Although I can't get on any gambling orientated websites due to the colleges net filter, I believe that Holy Smoke is a machine I've played before - a clone of Wildfire, blue artwork, same 'get 3 symbols to activate Hi-Lo trail'?

Basically, if you were just after Holy Smoke gameplay, WildFire was a direct clone, albeit with different sounds and graphics. Was Dambuster by Impulse a clone as well?

Wife 2000????

Would that be related to this....

Dear Tech Support:


Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this was included with the product information. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity.


Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Fishing 7.5, and Motorcycling 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I can’t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I’m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn’t work on Wife 1.0. Please help!!!!!!

Dear Troubled User:


This is due to a very common problem that generates many complaints. It is due to a primary misconception generally by male users. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that it is merely a “Utilities and Entertainment program”.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its creator to run everything! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and return to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating systems files cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0, so nothing is gained.
It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to disallow this.
Some have tried Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than in the original system. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under “Warnings - Alimony/Child Support.” I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation.
I suggest installing the background application C:YES DEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I also suggest that you read the entire section regarding “General Partnership Faults (GPFs).” You must assume all responsibility for any faults and problems that occur, regardless of their cause. You will also find that GPF’s are cyclical. The best course of action is to enter the command C:APOLOGIZE. Avoid excessive use of C:YES DEAR because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return too normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 (which replaces Burn It 1.0), Trash 4.0, and Do Bills 4.2.
You must, however, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 should this happen.

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install SecretaryShortSkirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

lol, it's not the original, that included things like Mistress 3.1 and divorce 2.9 which included things like automatic money withdrawl or something. this was the first one I found

...dambuster is a barcrest big cheese/top dog clone...

No, it's an Impulse clone of 'Jackpot Junction', 'Hulk', etc

[Bencrest]

I can't be right 100% of the time

Why did so many manufacturers clone eachothers machines at the time of pointless Superboards? Why did noone sue anyone else over breaching board designs or anything else pointless?

...Why did noone sue anyone else over breaching board designs...

'Cos they're all in with each other, their sole objective being to rob us all blind!

Oh, sorry, I was thinking of Blair, Bush, et al...
