Was thinking about a machine that i used to play in Johnny's a good few years ago. It was right at the time the £4.80 token jackpot came out. There was three of them at the time. Maygay Monopoly , Bfm Cops & Robbers and the third was ( i think ) a Jpm called Pinball or something like that ? I remember it having this wee " trigger " type thing that shot the ball round the board but thats really about all. Dont remember it being a very good machine or generous either but would be grateful if someone could maybe help or even has a picture ?

Cheers.

I remember this game. They had one for a time in Star Amusements in Weston-super-Mare, with a Barcrest Nudge Shuffle one side and a Carry on Joker the other. It was on £6 tokens though.

If memory serves it was a typical System 5 game of that time, much like Intrigue and Thriller, which involved getting a win and hi-lo-ing your way to £3 and hoping it repeated a couple of times. I can remember the red plastic pinball 'plunger' that was on the cabinet but not what it was used for. That one was the only machine like it I ever saw. Definitely called 'Pinball' something.

Have you tried the Mecca , loads of photos of old machines on there that might jog your memory.

Here's one for you, can any one remember an old fruit machine from the late 80's early 90's. It was a vdeo machine and when you were awarded nudges a little man would appear with a hammer and the nudges were on a ladder so the harder you hit the more you got, bit like test your strength you get at the fun fair. The only place I saw this machine was at A And H leisure in Brighton. Any help in naming this would be much appreciated.

I was looking through the pcture gallery and I saw a machine called sidewinder, not the jpm roller coaster clone but the ACE version, that one looked really familiar, it could be that one.

Sidewinder and it's clone Spellbound, was a very early 80's video machine on £2JP to start with (Think a £3 version was also done, but can not recall ever seeing that version), with it's well known 4 reels and Sidewind feature.

It was the first video fruit I saw, a bit different for the time. There's so many classics that I used to love playing but I just can't remember the names of them.
