Arabian Knights - Barcrest MPU5, can't be emulated.
Volcano - BWB Genesis Cab, not sure of tech but can't be emulated AFAIK, either due to tech or protetion system.
Dungeon Master - Didn't you ask about that before? Wasn't it a MAME game rather than a game for a Fruit Machine Emulator?
Big Breakfast - I think there were 2 versions, both by BFM and both AFAIK can't be emulated.

Never heard of Lotto Extra. When you say Big Game1024, do you mean a 1024 layout, or was the machine called 'Big Game1024'?

If it was a Barcrest machine, with about 6 'pots' you had to fill in, from the same era as say Boulderdash, then it definately can't be emulated.

Twilight Zone, by ACE - if is on the sp.ACE tech then it should be emulatable under the eagerly awaited MFME2 - still in development.

Not sure about one with 3 bears - unless it was an OXO type machine, called Bear X rather than Bar X? There was a bit of a legal contest over that one

bear x was a lo tech conversion by project

It was, and Electrocoin took them to court over copyright of Bars, Xs and Os, and said that Bear X was too close to Bar X - essentially claiming that the owned the rights to all BAR X O machines.

I think they [Electrocoin] lost the case but I'm sure details can be found on the net

I would have thought that the original Big Breakfast was emulatable as it is of the same genre as Make a Million which is on site.
The latter BB was of the Viva Mexico era, hence not done yet.


oooooh MFME2, first I've heard of it. So we'll soon get all the twiddly nudge music made of the notes A,C and E? Fantastic.

Big Game is MPU5 I think.

That original Bear machine wasn't BEar X, I know the machine you mean but can't think of the name. Something like Bear streak.
