Hello everyone!

I thought I would start a thread where people can say what games they own/have owned in the past. Might be interesting...and I'm also nosey!

;)

I'll start us off...

Monte Carlo (Barcrest) - converted so it didn't have prizes like watches and stuff at the top - 20p £6 tokens - scrapped it when I moved into my flat.

Twilight Zone (Ace) - bought from an arcade - 5p/10p £3 cash/£6 tokens - sold to a friend for £25 who sold it on for £35 a week later! Needed room for my next machine...

Club Attraction (Bell Fruit) - bought from a friend who had got bored with it. Great game, broke my heart when I scrapped it...wish I hadn't!

Screenplay (Maygay) - 5p £3 cash/£6 tokens - got it for nothing and it worked too until recently. Probably end up on the tip...



That's it for me...who's next? :)
Watch out! There's a SIG thief about...

I've owned :

1st - Each Way Nudge, Barcrest. Not a bad machine, but did get a little boring. The idea of simply turbo gambling nudges rather than having a feature trail, and also the crazy profile of the machine [often it would drop £30 from Super Streak on £5 JP, it would literally not offer a win for about £25 to do it!] - meant I got bored very quickly. I paid £107 originally, and sold it in the paper, needing the space, for £75.

2nd - Cluedo SWP, JPM. This was bought as knackered on eBay for £10. Everything apart from the touchscreen working. I have some spares to try out but simply haven't had the time of late to do it. That and dad hides the garage keys from me :o It is the £10 JP version, so should play far better than the £20 Itbox / Turbo Choice versions. If I can't get it working, I think the contents of the machine will be worth about £50 inc the monitor, and I may use the cabinet for a project...

3rd - Spiker The Biker, Barcrest. Great machine this, one I used to play regularly in the pub and do very well on. I have to admit that after playing this I would be looking at getting another 'no-lose Super Trail' machine - it IMHO adds another dimension to the gameplay. It was played on £25/25p and 80% payout here. I originally paid £225 inc delivery for it, which was a little steep [although it was 2 years ago...] - but when you know which machine you want and a nice one becomes available, you have to grab it ;)
Now sold to another scener...

4th - Austin Powers, Barcrest. Bought a fairly tatty ex-kebab shop example of this for £125 about 4 months back. Mechanically not too bad - it works, although theres several issues with the coin mech, where it will alarm every so often. I think this will end up in the paper shortly for as close to the £125 I paid as possible, to make way for a couple of other machines.

I currently have my eyes on a local Impulse - Gridrunner, on £5. In fact I may well be picking it up today, so watch this space :p

I have up and over, a few (well alot) of problems when I first got it as many of you know. Its working fine now and I think its a great machine, im still not bored with playing it every now and then as there are masses of features. 49 squares on the board infact and it has almsot every feature you can possibly have on a machine.

A very old jpm firecracker, was a very nice (old) machine until an ex mate smashed the front glass in a temper because he got one nudge less than he needed for jp, we was playing for keeps, twat.

Hi all, I dont post very often - but i'm always here (hidden in the back ground somewhere)!! I can't believe no one has ever owned a TOP THE LOT machine by Barcrest - quite old now, but one of the best in my opinion!! The person to emulate that one will be my friend for life!! Anyway, i've just bought Calamari Club £250 Jackpot which is great fun to chase, loads of features etc.

Have fun!

Club Attraction - my all time favourite clubber.
What a great machine that was.
I once climbed out 2 cashpots and a full cashtrail for a £5
It would have broke my heart aswell if I had scrapped it

Nice collection TTX! Any chance of a few pics? Cash Filla is a nice game...but I preferred Fruit Connexion for the feature where you hit the wild on the last reel for 50p. Blue Streak was a lovely game...my brother-in-law has a Cash Smash which is similar.

Can't beat the games of yesteryear!

Castle spares...there was an old Castle game gathering dust upstairs in an arcade I used to work in...sadly it got broken up some time ago. Good luck finding spares anyway...
