What's going on with barcrest. Every new machine is crap.

Not only crap but boring. Stuff like Top of the Swaps, Fat Cat etc etc.

Soooo sooo boring and crap. Bring back space invaders, VIU and clones etc.

I generally miss them as they were so much more fun to play and good for quick wins / JP steals etc.

I have to say i agree. All of the new machines are an absolute crock of shite. CADD was just about acceptable, but everything since then has been drivel.

Please remember that cash box is the bottom line for manufacturers, which is why BFM succeed. No-one cares what the players want. Boycott the machines and the pubs/arcades/lbo's will soon change them. Simplistic , I know.

Open The Box lasted less than a month at my work, which is surprising.

Bellfruits are actually quite entertaining to play in a lighthearted way.

Played the 4 reeler today, let me nudge £3 in which started me on the DOND game, few rounds of the board later and i collected £10 odd

Then played the Beat the banker £35JP. Got DOND game, 10p or £35 left, took the £15 offer to see 10p in my box :D .

I take it the manip for the 4 reeler has been seen to?
