Well I had to just buy one didn't I!

The 8-Bit era gave birth to many great software studios, many only lasted only a few years, some crossed over to the 16-bit era and a few still survive today under various guises. But who was you favourite? I reckon in a poll the masses would chose 'Ultimate' and that's a great shout as they made some seminal original titles. There were powerhouses like 'Ocean' & 'US Gold' who churned out some good titles and arcade ports but were tainted with terrible franchised titles. Even Codemasters were massive in maintaining the 8-bit era into the budget market. I used to enjoy work from smaller outlets that made some great titles, in that camp I'd include.. Software Projects, DK'Tronics, Microsphere, Gargoyle Games, Melbourne House, Beyond, Durell, Micromega, Hewson, Odin, Elite, and there's probably more. But for me the winner has to be 'Vortex'. I was amazed at not only the 3D but the speed and fluidity of it. Great titles like TLL, Cyclone & Alien Encounter were regularly played on my speccy.

Going from one extreme to another here, after my last redraw of Monopoly Takeover we go back a few decades to Associated Lesuire''s Maximum. A time when machines were entertaining, fun & you didn't need to take out a second mortgage to play them. Massive thanks go to Louie Bee for supplying the resources for this and hitthesix for creating a classic. Apart from the metal coin plates and the metal border on the bottom glass the entire machine was redrawn based on Louies photos. ****************************************** Maximum DX ****************************************** Released - 2nd April 2018 Author - Dave Pook Manufacturer - Associated Lesuire Stake - 5p Jackpot - £1.50 ****************************************** Shortcuts... 0 - Enter 50p 9 - Enter 10p 1 - Hold/Nudge Down 1 2 - Hold/Nudge Down 2 3 - Hold/Nudge Down 3 Q - Nudge Up 1 W - Nudge Up 2 E - Nudge Up 3 ` - Cancel A - Autonudge C - Collect G - Gamble Space - Start ****************************************** Thanks to... hitthesix - Classic Loubie Bee - Resources @Wizard - v6.1 Compliance ****************************************** Maximum_DX.zip

The quality/perspective is fine, I meant it's not 100% the right cab for the machine, top & bottom surface areas were way out. Bit of cutting in half, stretching , colouring and a few strategic rivets it's as close as I can get it. Made some funky new buttons last night.

Recently bought a batch of flyers which had this Maygay title in. Maygay flyers seem scarce so I was delighted to come across it, sadly though these flyers never seem to be of the best quality. I've gotten to a stage on this where some redrawing will be required.

Yeah it's been 10 months since I touched this one, some redrawing is required now. I will get back to it, promise.

Thanks for these @Ploggy, I've tried a couple of those already and others, just can't seem to get the quality/perspective right as I'm working in large sizes here. I did bastardise a couple of other electro cabs to suit needs below, not 100% but looks ok.

Pool themed clubber by Bellfruit, which has a built in screen to play pool. Notice the 'Shoot Pool' button beneath the screen, this was a turn and push knob used to control the cue on the screen. MFME utilises your mouse wheel's scroll and click feature to do the same thing. Thanks to Reg for his classic, Ploggy for tech help, NQ for testing and WIzard for writing innovative ways into MFME for us to control these odd machines. As I did with Screen Play I've made a PDX version with a larger screen to the side, as sometimes the smaller screen is unreadable. Be warned this slows down the layout massively so don't bother downloading this version unless you have a high end system. ****************************************** Trick Shot Club DX ****************************************** Released - 9th February 2018 Author - Dave Pook Manufacturer - Bellfruit Stake - 30p Jackpot - £250 ****************************************** Shortcuts... 0 - Enter £1 9 - Enter £20 note 8 - Enter £10 note 7 - Enter £5 note ` - Cancel 1 - Hold 1 2/H - Hold 2/Hi 3/L - Hold 3/Lo 4 - Hold 4 S/C - Stop/Collect T - Transfer E - Exchange S - Shoot Pool Space - Start Cursor Left - Rotate Cue Cursor Right - Rotate Cue Cursor Up - Shoot ****************************************** Thanks to...

I've been asked to make this one available, I put it in this section as it was my last release before MFME v6. There's no update required here apart from locked with a splash screen. So there's no need to re-grab this one if you already have it. ****************************************** Super Nudge Gambler DX ****************************************** Released - 1st October 2017 Author - Dave Pook Manufacturer - Bellfruit Stake - 5p Jackpot - £1 ****************************************** Shortcuts... 0 - Enter 10p 9 - Enter 5p 8 - Enter 10p Token 1 - Hold/Nudge 1 2 - Hold/Nudge 2 3 - Hold/Nudge 3 4 - Hold Number Reel N - Nudge Gamble Space - Start ****************************************** Thanks to..

Of all my re-releases this has had probably the most work done, it's is a great example of how far MFME has come over the years. Back in the day this was the first DX released with a disc reel, but there were restrictions. The disc and it's hidden surroundings would not allow any lamps laid on top. So I could not lamp these and crudely lamped the sideart. Thanks to all the enhancements @Wizard has done over the years I can now update this properly more representative of the original machine. Updates for MFME v6.1 include.... New & opaque reels. New & opaque reels. In/out sound effects. Re-drawn unreadable text. Lamps ontop of disc reel. Tweaked digis Re-drew new buttons. Made new disc reel to match original machine. Updated sideart. ******************************************Rota-Note DX******************************************Released - 21st July 2005Updated for v6.1 - October 2018Author - Dave PookManufacturer - JPMStake - 10pJackpot - £4Resolution 1280x1024******************************************Shortcuts...0 - Enter £1` - Cancel1 - Hold 12 - Hold 2/Hi3 - Hold 3/LoN - NudgesT - Take ItS - SwopE - ExchangeSpace - Start/Gamble******************************************Thanks to..Bugs & @Geddy - Classic@Ploggy - Tech help@wearecity - Testing****************************************** Rota-Note_DX.zip

Bollocks to FME, first thing I'd fire up with that set up would be Raiden

Started prepping this one with photos supplied by stonyat421. As you can see there is a massive amount of work to be done for this. But looking at the existing DX we have of this one released donkeys years ago by @Stiffy1231 it's long due an overhaul.
