also has anyone got any piccies,and has/can it be emulated..please


cheers;)

The first Pac-Man type machine I remember was called Fruit Chaser/Snappa. A JPM machine on the System 80 platform. If the roms turn up, it's a definite possibility of getting emulated. Picture courtesy of the Mecca.

The first Pacman style of machine was Fruit Snappa, which is exactly the same as the picture that Ploggy posted but had a £2 Jackpot. Fruit Chaser was a £3 upgrade. They also did Roadrunner and Frog It (£2) and Frog Hop (£3 Upgrade). They have done a few variations on Pacman since but none before.

YOU KNOW WHAT M8.....SPOT ON

the word chaser didnt jog me memory..until i saw the pic and thought hang on! that was a later one i played..lol

then when you posted the words "SNAPPA"....it all snappa,d into place...pardon the pun...

but i still have a very vivid memory in my head of the LARGE "PACCY" on the glass in the chaser pic..being on the lower glass on the snappa version

and the thing lit up in "quarters" whenever you got a paccy sign(i think) on the reels..when full you won a feature

ID LOVE TO SEE A PICCY OF THE OLDER SNAPPA MACHINE..LOL

many thanks for what you lot have found so far...

many happy memories..lol







HOLD THE FRONT PAGE..JUST FOUND THIS..AND ITS ALL CAME BACK TO ME.HA HA

it was NUMBERS ON THE REELS...THE "PACCYS" WERE THE JACKPOT SYMBOLS...LMAO


MEMORY CASE SOLVED...CHEERS ALL..(WELL I WAS ONLY 12 THEN LOL)
