Does anyone out there remember some form of fruit machine which when you got on the features section you could play little games on a small VDU. I remember 2 of the games were 'find the knight' and 'duck shoot' (or something similar!). I used to play it on the Palace Pier in Brighton back in the early 90's when I was at Uni there .... what memories. Anyway, does anyone remember it? Does anyone know what technology it uses? Can it be emulated? etc

i think ur talking about the maygay machine called SCREENPLAY. i'm sure its the same technology as pink panther.

The name kind of rings a bell, can you remember anything else about it?

It is Screenplay you mean, it is based on Maygay M1 technology, but the video aspect is unemulated as with the video aspect of MPU4 machines.

Here's a picture of Screenplay. Is this the one you mean?

It's certainly the only machine I know of with a Duck Shoot feature on a video screen (and Find the Knight which is called Knight Time I believe)

[jubags]

Yeah that's the one. Could it be emulated as a stand alone?

[Bencrest]

If you could emulate M1a machines which used VDUs, then surely you could emulate the Impact SWPs?

I would love to help code one of these.....maybe when I come out of uni....once I've finished at college :)

this machine is for sale on www.selectamuse.co.uk for £90 if you want it bad enough.

Probably spent that much in it over the years! LOL! 8O
