Why o Why?

In games like Fairground and Give us a Break, did they bother having a BOOST bonus? It quite happily boosted you onto a LOSE. You might as well just have pressed START.

In other news, why don't they release another Simpsons machine? All of the previous ones have been class (except the very first one which was a bit balls).

I can only assume that the licence to produce a simpsons machine would cost a fortune.

It would only be called "The Simpsons : Bank of Springfield" or something and be a CYBTB clone anyway!!

The first one was the great escape/italian job clone was'nt it? can't remember another before that, 3 doughnuts were the jackpot on it, if you got a win over a £5er it was streaking, you had to knock the red back and you got that back right at the end after your white jackpots from what i remember, i thought these were ok too thumper.

I think the 1st simpsons was the one with mo's tavern at the top of the feature. (Think Eastenders The Vic feature)
Also had an easy skill jackpot on the Itchy & Scratchy feature.

Hello Christopher. No, you're thinking of the one that was a clone of the great escape, the original simpsons was brought out years before. It was 5p/10p play with a £6 token jackpot. Very good game actually I thought.

Hmm... should have read the responses before I repeated what everyone else has said....D'oh!
