Fruit Machine Chat

Popped into my old man's local in Troon the other day. Quiz machine has probably been hired off of a regular who got it from ebay. Lots of older games on it which brought back a wee bit of nostalgia (none of them are THAT old, but better than some of the crap on offer today).

Deal or no deal - the version that felt like it wasn't 'rigged'.
Caveman Capers
Multi-hand blackjack


So what would you bring back if you could?

I'd bring back Mousetrap and TV Times. I doubt very much they'd be in many people's 'hall of fame' but I used to quite enjoy the gameplay. Oh, and FHM.

Casino royale, cash stakka

Connect 4 cos it was grrrrrreeeeeaaaaaatttttttt!!!!!!

I guess that was an inde?

Of the last 5 years or so I would bring back:

Caveman Capers (for some reason I really liked the question bank)
Countdown (not very profitable but good for filling time in an otherwise burnt location whilst having a pint)
FHM (a guilty pleasure and often a quick steal)
Ant & Dec (one of the easiest (without a scam) to get significant winnings on)
That cricket skill game (I was highly adept at this and in a new location would normally get me off to a good start very quickly)
Original DOND (although I got bored of it very easy to read- still never had a £20 though)
Original TIOLI

I always had a soft spot for Trick Shot Pool in the modern era.

Inquizitor if I could pick anything: Pure and classic.

Well my first choice is very obvious. But after that I'd vote for silver falls, brainteaser, guess who?, hell's bells, family fortunes , unbent cluedo, spelvin and south park q&a.

Good thread.

Spelvin. Fuck me at least you're consistent.

Loads!
Top Of The Pops - beauty, elegance and a £20 JP. I worked out the pattern in the spoilers so it was financially beneficial.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - I liked the £1 one on the Itbox. Had plenty of bonuses and decent prizes. Endgame of guessing celebs' ages was less irritating than you'd think.
Ceasar's Palace - especially on the oval machines.
Lyric was enjoyable for me. Didn't stay around too long mind.
Unchipped old school Bullseye.
Pepsi No1 Chart Quiz and unchipped DOND.
Ant & Dec's Piggy Bank or whatever it was called. Decent enough fun and winnable.

On a less paying note I quite liked that Cops and Robbers that was square shaped. For some strange reason I didn't mind In The Grid. There was another game I really liked but can't remember the name. All I remember was the graphics were great and when it went into difficult mode it would ask you about the Australian music scene or Elvis films?

Where to start??

Quizmaster-the game not the player First game I ever cracked.

Fruit Machine. A descendent of the above. Quickest way to get £38.00 yet devised.

10 move Monopoly. The legend "Go Back Three Spaces from the Community Chest past Old Kent Road.

Original Cluedo. Just a great game to play.

Royle Family Ahem!

The original Wordsearch (Wasn't it's name but my memory is going!)

First quiz machine I ever played was a Quizmaster (hence the nom de plume). My first ever game result in a £10 JP (12,000 points rings a bell?) which ended up on my white shoes as Pernod & Black vomit. I'm so 80's.

Royle Family - with the correct answer shown.

If I recall the first four questions got you to 12,000 and then it was on to the money with points for each correct answer pushing you towards your win.
