happened about 4 or 5 times on two units over a month, pretty sure no-one else saw a megastreak or jackpot inbetween my visits on either machine though,

if im not ment to say this then im sure someone will delete or edit it?

it only seemed to flash if you changed the stake down after the first mega, next board or second board on lower stake would flash.

but as i said above, it was a natural jp/mega not ripped or using shortcuts.

Fair do, i was just saying its rare for a SEVENTY jackpot Barcrest machine to roll, i'm sure we'd all have a board or two on a wobbler.

Did'nt even make £35 did they, i would'nt even class it as a recent Barcrest either, 2005 for a guess?

2005 sounds about right Scott. That was probably the end of a standard Barcrest streak profile, Even Big Brother got tightened up to 2 JP's if you were lucky.

big brother got chipped loads, too many corners cut from the £15 to £25 software, im almost certain one version autocollected the jp when it was lit too...

I agree. Wobbler was an example of a great Barcrest. I played it once in late 2006. I also loved the Barcrest games where you could open up extra parts to an existing trial. The first in their series was stuff like Top Dog (figure of 8 board), followed by more elaborate boards such as Super Star and High Flyer. These were around the same time as Wobbler.

eeerrrr

not quite fella..

top dog was circa 2002 so was high flyer.. almost the same release date iirc

superstar was probably 18 months later

wobbler was probably 18 months after that.

first "opening extra parts of the board" was way before that.. circa 1998 depending on exactly what you specify as an extra part of the board

Ooops, my bad there with the dates

ops: I merely saw them all in 2005/6 and I tend to fix the machines in the year that I saw them. Same with TV films.

My first opening of extra board parts for me would be Bell Fruit's "Royale Banker" 2001, where it had a circle board which extended by mechanical means. Quite neat. Then it was used again in the Dream Factory, although the board was more-or-less in the shape of a duck and the duck's head was the extended part

Top dog and high flyer were quality, superstar wasn't in my opinion. Def 4 or 5 years prior to TAW
