What is this machine?

Ok, just thought of another machine from when I was younger. Can you tell me what it is from my description?

- think it was 2p play

- it had a big ape/monkey on it and it had a sort of tree of nudges

- the whole game focused around the gambling of the huge tree of nudges (there were about 15 or so nudges to gamble up to)

- It would have been around in the early 90's

Ring any bells?

It was called tuppenny cracker. There was a couple of clones. Great games they were.

trail spelt out 'crack the nut' banked nudges never won gamble unless flyig lol. Used to love the original three pound piggybank 'smash and grab' only the versions that used to bank the nudges properly so you could wait for a board and not make you try and hit them next cred every time.sometimes you could get several consecutive jpts off 'trade and exchange lol. The gamble tune is an absolute classic as is the line up one.

Thanks, that it definately the one. That is the first ever fruit machine I played on!
I have loads of emulators but not that one, does anyone know where I can get it?
I love the old fruit machines, not really into the modern ones.

Yes I do, made by PCP in the late 80's. A 3-reel game with overprinted numbers adding to a 15 position trail on the top glass. I have some pics of the machine too
