Does any one agree that the old two pence play fruit machines were more fun to play than the current section 16 games which all appear to be clones of each other? Apart from the fact that I used to be able to get 2 quid to last all week at my local amusements and now 200 can be spent in about 2 minutes.

Top 2p games that I remember

Blackhole
Tuppenny Nudger
Pair Play
Superspoof

Anyone got there own favourites?

I definitely agree! I used to love PCP Test Pilot the best, there were two side by side in the local arcade. All the old PCPs were great, especially the 2p ones!

ATM I've got three old 2p machines in my own collection:

JPM Take 2
PCP Blue Streak
PCP Cash Filla

Are they all in working order? Lucky you, vaguley remember TestPilot and Blue Streak, not to sound like an old git but 'they don't make them like they used to'

I've recently started collected machines again, had to get rid of them to make space in the house a few years ago then I worked out that it was much easier just leaving the wife and buying a new house!! Damn i miss ....... those machines! lol

I used to love all those three machines in the picture. But my favourite 2p machine was a machine called Stop A Fruit by jpm, also Copperwin, there was also a machine Im not sure who made it but it was called cashcade and you used to get spins on a yellow wheel which had different cash amounts on, if you filled lines on a matrix.
I agree though that older 2p machines are much better players.
