10 years or so back, stuff like £15 Lotta Luck and the JPMs like Red Arrow.

Not quite so long ago, any Vivid £25. Same era has contenders like Screamin' Demon and Spin On It.

Agree with the shout for £35 Panthers/Rovers. Extremes were big as well. Sure someone will mention WIYB, although I completely missed these due to non-fruit related stuff.

More recently possibly the biggest range of decent stuff? There are a lot of contenders from the 70s, particularly the early days. LTD immediately after it was chipped for the empty was probably the biggest (for those of us who weren't being chauffeured around Alien P2s anyway!)

Cluedo was my biggest overall raise on a single unit, as a game for overall profit its gotta be Alien for me, tied with Vivids, people moan it created 1000000's of players, but i still made stacks.

I'm not a top boy or top dog or even top cat (that's Mav)

However, I am shocked at how dim some (dim sum lol) people on here are - especially after today's comments...

I had a couple of superholds in decent pubs a long while after the chip, made quite a bit of them in just under a year, just lost the last one in december. So for me definately them, ill also throw in bank jobs, etc, not everybodys taste I know but I made a fair bit over the few months I had 6/7 units close by.
