The good old days

Post by megastreaker »

I remember being at Uni is 2005 and they had a fools and horses machine. It was just a fun machine to play with. You'd so around the board and there was this one square that you would land on which was Delboys car. The car would drive and stop where it chose to. Sometimes it would go all the way for a £6 jackpot. This would pay out in tokens and we'd spend it on beers behind the bar. They also had a roller coaster one. There was this feature called nemesis which seemed like a mega streak in todays terms.

Happy days. anyone else got any stories to remenis about?

The main thing I miss are the machines that had JP features right near the beginning.
Money to burn had Hells bells 2nd square in.
Its a knockout had mini marathon 3rd square in.
On the buses had The big apple 2nd feature up.
Dr Who Timelord had the tardis 2nd square.

Or half way up the board

Rollercoaster had test your strength
Snakes & Ladders had sands of time.

I've seen 1 similar to this but a bit more recent.
Can't think of the name of the machine. When you got on a board you could either play the normal feature board adding cash and features and when you got 3 super symbols you could hi/lo along a trail. Or you could play the other way by going straight on the trail but have police chasing you ?
Anyway when you got Jackpot you could either take the cash or get a voucher and you needed 3 vouchers for a mobile phone or watch.

Had a rare IM mode and a barcode, its probably even emulated now.

Yep, Prize versions. A fair few old Barcrests had them. Think there are some emulated aswell, although you don't get the Prize lol. There are prize roms about anyways :)

Go right back to some old pcps. Cash Attraction and Nudge Money could be had off the second feature. That was also pretty much the only way you'd get it too so they were always good earners for me as a kid. Could easily make £1-£1.50 each day just off those lol!
