I don't know of where to get the machine, other than the usual e-bay search.

Just wanted to let you know not to post in CAPITALS as a couple of your posts have been. You may not be aware that its the forum version of shouting and is also very cumbersome to read.

Thanks

Chico? Never ever heard of this machine, is it very old?

I'll ask my friend if he has this machine (he collects old machines and sells them on e-bay) I'll pm you what he says.

Little tip. Be suspicious of e-bay, not everything is 100% reliable.

As i said in my last post, I will ask my friend about "chico" and pm you with the results.

You'll have a hell of a job trying to find one of these Dom. I haven't seen one for 8 years - last one was in an arcade in Sheringham near Cromer on the East coast.

Being a Project Coin machine it isn't emulated either, although the ROMs are available for when the machine can be emulated.

Strangely enough, that doesn't appear to be too far away ;)

Your best bet in the meantime is as Duplu says - check ebay regularly and hope that one appears - it could be days, months or never, so you'll have to be patient I'm afraid. I can assure you though that some real gems do turn up on ebay from time to time - a Bullseye was on there only a few weeks ago.

Good luck! :)
Watch out! There's a SIG thief about...

I remember this machine - very good machine to play if you knew how - did you have to play it for the gold rush feature?? Whats this about projectcoin getting emulated?? Will that mean seven heavens, rags to riches etc can be emulated???

Hi

The next version of the emulator is going to include Proconn tech so yes 777 heaven and all of the other projects of that era will become a reality on the emu, as long as the roms are around, if you want to keep up with the latest news on the emu the official emu web site as now been merged with the mecca there is a link on the home page here of you want to nip over there.

excellent!!! The Projects of that era are my all time faves. I loved rags to riches and fortune wheel in particular - very large streaks to be had with these. Chico the bandit was pretty good too.....

Cant wait!
