In the last poll (which has been on the site for years!) it was clear that the majority of people's favourite manufacturer was Barcrest. So which of the following do you consider to be the Barcrest machines of the 90's?

Vegas Strip without a doubt!

Original, nicely layed out and gave loads of features.

Not a blood sucking machine either, I played the £10 version numerious times...even if it had had a bloody good roll the 'fun factor' was still there...

They're all horrible on £5! But I've picked Monty Python just for the classic sound effects. My favourite from the 90s is Thunderbird but that's not in the poll, and I think I just got lucky on it lol

Some very good machines up there. I had to choose Psycho Cash Beast, this and its clones were always very good to me, and were great fun to play. Others that came close were Eliminator, Jewel in the Crown, and Spiker.

Psycho takes first prize for the tremendous all-round gameplay. Silver Screen is a shock omission from your list:)

You expect to choose just 1?! :wacko:
Top 2 would be Addams Family and SPiker. but my choice would have to be Spiker. Fun to play, pays well and all the "cheats" ( a couple of which I found on my own) all help to make this machine an unforgettable treasure.

As I was typing the word treasure above I realised I didnt see Temple of Treasure. Did you miss ToT or was it temp. blindness my part?

I didnt put that on the list cos addams was on there and it had better game play and sounds in my eyes i didnt want to machines alike

certainly PCB but there are a HUGE range of Barcrest machines from the 90's.

MPU4 Yamaha machines (Hyper Viper, Viva Las Vegas 6) are classics but I would also rate Cash Machine and Ten out of Ten as well

Jewel in the Crown was a real gem of a machine.... Psycho Cash Beast was one of the better later crests along with Lotta Luck, Jackpoteers etc. There are way too many classics missing from earlier in the 90's.

Had to copy Ady and go for 'Las Vegas Strip' it was between that and Austin Powers which came a very close second..although that was more for the samples from the machine and the ole 'follow me' trick ;)

Never really seen many of the other machines in the wild..i did play them on the odd occasion..but LVS was my fav and its counterpart Magnificent 7's.
Mmmmmm...Sandy ive 'ad her ye know. :)

Probably not too closely, they're all messing about with their DOND license. They made a Psycho Cash Beast 2 anyway, and it went down like a sack of shhhhhhhhhhherbert with bricks in it.
