My second attempt at DXing. It isn't perfect, but I built it anyway because I loved this machine! Found it a real struggle to work between the glass scan and the flyers, mainly for that three D panel in it where the feature/nudge/cash climbers are.

Still, I think it looks reasonable and it should guarantee taking you back in time. I love playing it, a lot of good game play in it and really, the fact it's a 10p £4 machine sometimes eludes you!

With thanks to Bugs and Trouty who did the original classic layout and to the repository for the glass scans and flyers.

And to everyone here for giving me a new (highly intensive!) hobby!

:-)

I was sitting here a couple of days ago talking about this machine but I couldn't remember what it was called.

Lo and behold there it is!!!!

Lots of memories this brings back both good and bad.

Thanks for this release reelbruce. :)

Thanks to all who responded!

Very pleased this one has awoken some memories. My mate has never seen this one before and only started playing fruit machines a couple of years ago - he's hooked on it and says if only we could get a £25 pub machine remake!

(Think that would be a bad idea on reflection, I'd never be out the pub and would be totally skint!)

I used to play this in the chipshop down the road, when I never even knew how to play them properly, I used to go down with my £1.50 paper round money and try and turn it in to £2.50. Now I remember why it was so hard.

Kiss ass layout though, and absolute classic machine..

Sure that guy who ran the chipshop must have emigrated to the Bahamas.
