... and I've just found one. Only allowed myself to see the feature once, costing me £4 to do so, and won £3 back. Whaaat a pile of manure it really is. Land on the same symbol THREE TIMES just for a bonus?! That's a friggin' Mega Streak in my book!

Sling it on the 'fire...

Been said but X marks the spot just horrible! suck for a board then game over for not collecting 60p.

Nuns and Roses Mazooma

Barcrest Ultimo also remember playing it once as I like Revolution/battleaxe it took £15 for a board 10p/£5 play (I know daft for putting that much)

Other contenders

Some oldies (globals Banging Away, Jiggin in the Riggin)

Also gridrunner by impulse I think? the designers/ programmers must have made this game during their lunch hour, utter garbage

gridrunner by impulse

Heh - now I played one of these a few weeks back - bought back some memories of how naff it was for me. The gamble was atrocious - always losing on 11's and 2's lol...

I used to quite like most Impulse games - Flashback etc... But this one was tight as buggery. Managed to get a few JP's out of it during my time (Skill Bonus = No Lose Streak) was about the only 'sign' that you were near getting something reasonable...

However, that time has passed, douse it in petrol, and lug it onto this (ever growing!) pyre!

Quality topic guys. I think every member of this forum can relate to throwing something on this "Bonfire".

For me it has to be Cash Blast (see other post) and the BFM factory, that'll stop them making any more drivel!!!

have you got room for a golden tee which takes up valuable SWP space?

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:41 am

Of course unknown....anything deserving of severe burnage can go on. AWP or SWP.

That Bellfruit offering certainly takes the piece......though at least its different. Still going on!

Don't forget to drop Mega Zone out of a helicopter directly into the inferno, I'm assuming that the reason no-one's mentioned it yet is because it's just a foregone conclusion.
Staggeringly shit machine, I think Barcrest took a good hard look at GGG & CBW and thought; "right, how can we make these even worse?"

Honorary mention to Car Wash (vivid), I'd rather change my money into coppers and play a penny pusher.

Also Red Gaming's disastrous entry into the club machine market; 5 Star. Think you've seen a Red suck mode? Think again. Not even fun to play when it's playing well (which incidentally is never).

Burn in fruity hell one and all......

I'd love to put the mob in there, just to see the little chavs reaction down my local arcade, probably treat the burning as a cremation.

I'd love to put treasure hunt by global on there, and battle axe, hate them two with a passion.

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:41 am

Right, so far then we have:

Cash Blast (Voodoo)
Mega Zone (Barcrest)
Ant n Dec (Bellfruit)
X Marks the Spot (JPM?)

Any Monopoly AWP (Bellfruit/Mazooma)
Hi-Lo Karate/Prize Fighter (Vivid)
Jack The Kipper (?)
Deep Impact (Mazooma)
Wildside (Global)
Bat Out Of Hell (Global)
Aces High (Mazooma)
Gridrunner (Global)
Golden Tee (SWP)
5-Star (Red Club)
Car Wash (Vivid)

Keep 'em coming....ill edit this as and when.

treasure hunt by global

No, quick get out the way, let me try and retrieve that! <Matt burns hands on boiling plastic>

I quite liked that one...

LOL!

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 1:39 pm

Yeah i haven't put that one in mate

Along with Golden Dragon et al. How can those be burnt? Absolute classic machines for many players, myself included. Trouble with those is everyone plays them wrong. Pretty anti force to be honest, seems to be that the recycle/set up/feature gambles are missed by many.
