Help identifying an old fruity!

Post by gambogaz1 »

A post about favourite barcrest m/cs has got me thinking. I'm going back about 5 years to the £15ers. The Feature board was virtually the same layout as space raiders but as you went round the board landing across the top or bottom squares gave a shot at the line it was on. going up n down the sides was where nudges,bonuses adn ?s where. If i remember right i think it played the red dwarf theme tune for the JP.
Anyone with a good memory?

No not a theme but the shots lines are the same. 1 line had 9 reel blasts at the top another had normal JP another JP repeater and so on. It might have been Eliminator.

No my memories not that bad. Like i say just picture the space raiders board. 5 lines of cash and winspins and features. But rather than land on 1,2,3 shots squares you had to land either directly above or below a particular line to get 1 shot at that line. You could gamble hi/lo on that line to get another shot.

Thats the beast. Nice 1 m8. 1 of my all time favourites. Had a sneaky suspicion it was a crest.

Could it not also have been Thunderbird? Which had an almost identical board to Eliminator..
