Fruit Machine Chat

I used to love that Lyrics game from about six year ago. For some bizarre reason I also enjoyed one called TV Times (I think) it was like a prototype of the NUTS game. They were both games I'd happily play regardless of how much cash I could win. Bit like Pointless now where I get a bit sucked in and just enjoy playing it. Seems odd that a lot of decent old games disappear to the games graveyard in the sky. They should have a 'retro' bit where they resurrect old games for a couple of months. Am I right in thinking BAM is pretty much disappearing from the latest updates?

Christ on a bike! Where to start....

Original (10 move) monopoly

Original Cluedo

Fruit Machine quiz machine (one for the oldies)

Quizmaster

Sun and Moon

Forty Pound Prize WWTBAM.

**sigh**

Where to start, indeed.

Fruit machine gets a thumbs up from me, despite its unpleasant defence mechanism.
Adders and Ladders, Skilltrek, Question of Sport.
Standalone Tetris.
£100 Millionaire.
Cluedo, Aladdin's Cave, Risk.
Word Blox.
YHW (original program, pre auto-remove).

I used to like ceasers palace the stacked tower one. I know you could empty CP2 but I used to play it before I knew. Was a good game.

I used to love the endgame on Every Second Counts, even before I started making money on it.

my fave was the one with the joystick - think it was called something like money maze

It was called Maze Master - The last effort from Coinmaster as I remember. They were still recycling questions that had been around since Quiz Master.

Great memory....Found one of them set up in the entrance to the caves at Cheddar Gorge! Which until I found a machine (GUAB) in the waiting room of a hospital in Lancashire was the strangest site I'd found.

I've forgotten the names but the wordsearch game and the one where you had to find bits of jigsaw puzzles? The card game where you had to match up the pairs in the end game (presumably made redundant by camera phones) and an honourable mention for the £40.00 Trivial Pursuit

Re quiz games, do you mean Masterpiece? End game card pairs - Concentration (also see its brother Total Recall).

Pepsi Music quiz-my favourite game of all time with old doc where is he now fox. Top gameplay - q's, t or false and answer grid rounds and used to pay.
Stand and Deliver- for the amount of game you got for 50p
And of course original Word Up- amazing to think now but then I recall the tenner would be about 1200 points.

I still think there should be an archive like mame for these old games. Ive seen that a lot of old fruit machines are preserved but quiz games don't seem to get the same treatment.

Every Second Counts was awesome !!!!

Some more from the archives....Suit Pursuit, pacman, 10 quid grid, Royle Family...
