I expect Bellfruit and games Media to be 1 and 2 respectively.

purely for repeat return/delusions of profit/ loss-over-the-years, would have to be AWPS? unless of course you're a so called 'AWP pro' (cue controvesy). :)

I may get screamed at this for suggestion, but solely for the years 2006-2007 Barcrest are getting a mention for me. Loved old barcrests mut the very few machines they have brought out in the last year have been poor in my opinion.


Yes Bellfruit and Games Media get a vote too

With respect to 2007 I would have to say Barcrest, still licking my wounds from a battering I took on OTB about three months ago.

Not at all! I vote Barcrest because they're getting it all wrong at the moment, cloning an abysmal format which has precious little appeal to any right-minded individual. It's gaming without the fun.

Barcrest for me too. It's actually at the stage where i would rather play a DOND or games media clone than a new crest. Diabolical - certainly not what i was thinking after their last awesome machine (TAW). :x

I went for Vivid - poorest by far... ;) I don't mind Games Media at all to be fair... ;)

Me too - Games Media machines are easily preferable to many others I can think of ...

Vivid... Rock around the Clock and Prize Fighter were in my local for seemingly decades. Utter dross....

But I've not seen a Vivid machine about recently...


still, good to know who the 3 vivid votes belong to! So much for anonymous voting.

I've had Vivid too purely because the last Vivid machine that was any good was Raise the roof and that's gotta be 3 - 4 years ago now.

What did you like so much about raise the roof? I have one on 10p/£5 and it has the worst profile ever. Dead for ages...board that offers 3 quid...dead for ages...jackpot (no repeat)...dead for ages....3 quid board...dead for ages....jackpot(no repeat)...dead for ages....you get the picture!

That's what £5 machines can play like in my opinion.
I'm talking about the £25 JP's. Very easily readable. Not mega profit but when you've got 3 in the same town and you could tell off the 1st board wether the JP was gainable within £25 then it was rich pickings. And the top reguarly gave at least £35 or more.

Barcrest with there new releases. ANything after CDD was poor. Empires are also horse shit. Some games media/ bellfruits are playable.
