Wow just checked out the simpsons video. So excited about this, it looks bloody awesome. May I add my appreciation to Guitar and all the layout creators who work so hard for the FME scene

[I have finished]

To dcristo1971, that simpsons machine was the first ever one I played. It was in Weymouth. I then played Flashback, and I fell in love with Epoch tech.

Only ever seeing a flashback down in Llandudno, and only once, replaced it and another machine with an adders and ladders multi-player... But I adored epoch from Homers Meltdown onwards... But my 3 favorite Epochs are:

 

Homers Meltdown
London Underground
Beaver Las Vegas
 

[dchristo1971]

I agree Connor Homers Meltdown is one of my favs, also like Thunderbirds

[I have finished]

What sounds does London Underground, Thunderbirds and Bever Las Vegas use? Never seen them!

or gridrunner dx only seen the killcrazy classic shame in theory we've had epoch etc twice already but the coders didn't deliver the goods at least guitar will go by his word and the proof has been shown, roll on epoch day, it will be "eppocalyptic"

Nice pun but yes... the hype is unreal!

Does anyone have a set of Eclipse roms handy? Bucks Bunny, Billy The Quid, etc.

[ploggy]

No Bucks Bunny, or Billy The Quid mate.  Here are all the roms that are available in the rom-dat.  Open it up with notepad, and have a look and see if there's another Eclipse machine in there.

I wrote this .dat viewer to make life a little easier, not sure what people actually use to view / create the dat files but this is a simple reader.

 

To make it work on Vista onwards you will need to put the included comdlg32.ocx file in your windows folder in the correct place.

 

On 32 bit windows it goes in [OS Drive:\Windows\System32] folder.

On 64 bit windows it goes in [OS Drive:\Windows\SysWOW64] folder.

 

For windows XP or earlier the file is included as part of windows.

By the way, I do plan on doing the Astra games one day (party time etc), so if anyone has one nearby and can get good photo's while there are still some around, it would be a good idea.

Found and scanned a Simpsons manual. Don't know if you still need it Guitar. Hopefully useful anyway :-)

Thanks very much !

What about sphinx, pyramid and labyrinth by electrocoin. Is there any chance of these getting a look in?

Eventually yes I'm sure.

That's probably my all-time favourite Astra machine.  Always did pretty well out of it.  It helped knowing all the nudge leaves.  Plus yours is on the same prize I played it on (£15).  The other great Astra machine I remember playing is Riverboat Gambler.  I only ever had the full four repeats on it.  Only dropped a fiver in it as well.  Caught it lovely.
