Reminiscing; what happened to this? only saw it twice, and it was like the sexiest machine ever. they never even cloned it; was there a fault with it?

(emus anyone?)

One of the aliens on it quotes :

"clearly a most primitive people"....

hint at machine players in general by crest :P for the general mug I'd have to agree :P

Loved this machine, used to gamble up the cash and then when you lost ur UFOs then you used to be able to shuffle for features. If you gambled to #15 then you pretty much guranteed the super money mad martians.

Was a good m/c, but i cant think of any clones.

I liked it too. There's one in a kebab shop in Aldershot, and 2 in the arcades on Hastings seafront :)

I often wondered whether they modelled it on Let The Good Times Roll, the much older Barcrest. Turbo gamble up the side... circular thingy up top... (roulette wheel instead of UFO)...

.. see where I'm coming from? In terms of the game it's completely different but the layout was strikingly similar.

The roms for this are already out so get your MPU5 emulator and get cracking.

did the £15 repeat the super top feature ever, the £25 one went for £25 on the top nearly every time in my experience, whether super or not.

I did have it for £50 a couple of times on a normal one but so far on the emulator I have only had £25

Heard there was something out on this machine, a manipulator or something.

Apparently works on the emulator too. Still got one in a local snooker hall.
