Can anyone tell me what the name of a certain machine is - was around in the early/mid 1990's and had a grid in a 'box' in the top of the cabinet that was the HI/LO and a table tennis ball that flew around on the grid
Please help - it's driving me crazy

I'm not sure who made it - it wasn't blue rinse. It was a great machine, spent many 'college' hours playing it.

ratcatcher - The machine was Gamball and it was by Barcrest. You could gamble all wins up to max £2.40 cash, the JP had to be gained from regular play.

Glad I could help ratcatcher.
I believe Gamball support has been long requested of the MFME author(s). Trick is how to simulate an actual moving part in the machine and the dynamics of it. True, you could just generate a random number but anyone who has seen the machine will know that the numbers are strategically positioned so that overall the chance of a duff gamble is slightly increased.
If I remember correctly the rom does run in the emulator but locks up on the gamble. Someone else can no doubt confirm that for sure as I don't have the rom here.

You're quite right - the numbers weren't exactly 'random'!
It would be great to see that emulated. Come on chaps! The gauntlet is down!
