Bring back
Bring back
With the dominance of Bellfruit and the rise of Reflex I'd just like to get a thread going that actually encourages some fruitchat.
Tricks aside, if you could bring back one manufacturer who would it be and why?
What era, would you keep the stakes and prizes the same or would you change it?
Take the money out of it we all enjoyed machines once for the amusement part of it.
For me mid-late 90's JPM great games to play whether you was a casual or a pro you'd get a fairly decent game on one, even from dead most of them would liven up without too much cash needed. I'd bring that era back in line with current stakes and prizes. (Yes I know JPM have had a stab at this already)

He isn't right of course, he just thinks he is.

My favourite machines were, in order of preference...
1. DOND What's In Your Box
2. Arcadia
3. Austin Powers
4. Spin On It
5. Spartacash/Duff Beer Guide
6. Lock N Load
7. Vamp It Up (ones that work)
8. Red Arrow
9. Ultimo
10. Revolution/Battleaxe/Golden Dragon
Therefore it is hard for me to wish to bring back any 1 company, I'd just like to have all these games on £70 jackpots and working!

They should make a game, where each feature is like an umptier
For exampe,
"Theres something down there" - would be snr/ctl/lotr superhold
"Arcadia!!" - shoot em up that dont time out
"20p crew" - obvious
"I dont like the look of this" - wonka, but probably bit hard to put in a feature
"Stopper Win" - win stopz, obv
"Banker can beat you" - hi and low game aiming for the 3 reds
"Deal perfect" - 10 seconds to play the game spin it about and umpty it at COCAINE speeds
"raker of cash" - shitest feature - £2/3
Apart from cashtopia all the features pay JP.
Wierd spinny "MEGA SPINS" (on the roll) style thing - likes to take £50 for a board and give £30 safes - like JB on ACID!!
3 "Pro players" in view - Taylor,Woods, Osullivan
Needs some work, but im hameroxed

3 empties I missed were Overload, Ready To Rock and Cops N Robbers. There simply weren't enough of the 1st 2 by the time the info was around and I was on the Skill Quests for the 3rd so couldn't be arsed.
Oh and just to remind everyone, I am SHIT on Aliens - unlike The High Priest. He sends his regards and goes back far further than this crop.

Rob is right here, Barcrest without a shadow of a doubt.
They made machines for years which had little intricacies that made you think. There was always potential (well nearly always) within a new Barcrest machine for a method which would develop into a good earner, and for that reason they were loved by casuals and players alike.
Fast forward a decade and we have Reflex gaming, churning out generally dull machines using the same old tired format, and spawning a generation of vacant-eyed, drooling idiots for players.

Never knew anything was on Overload but have been trying to get my bloody head round it for a rip or so on the emulator for ages now.Ruler of The World wrote:3 empties I missed were Overload, Ready To Rock and Cops N Robbers.
