From catching up on this thread it appears Betcom clearly had plenty of ideas on the go and were definitely making efforts to refresh the gameplay, it would be great to try some of these newer machines in one form or another.

They made interesting machines, is Edward B not on here? I remember he would engage on forums and was always open to ideas. Can't say I really got on with Trail Blazer but i'm not surprised there is more to it than meets the eye. If you hit the skill 7 style features on 4 would it auto skill the whole lot? Been a long time. I remember Rise to the Top looked interesting, although only ever saw one in a bookies where a punter was forever on my case. Not the best place to experiment. I liked a Mazooma (maybe QPS) called Stir Crazy, it had a barcode you could play for and one of the features was a true skill cash climb on the fruit symbols. If the skill climb went slow barcode would usually come straight back and do the same again. There were a few of them dotted around and I always did ok on them. I'm not sure tweaking the Cluedo features around on the £70 versions was the best idea in hindsight, I take it the idea was to make it harder to get number runner and wild thing, but with the features being red on pound stake a super 7 was never far away from a red line entry.

Thanks for the effort you put into the videos Choppers and sharing them with us, I enjoyed all the fruit related ones! Edit to add - I used to watch the Friday night (or was it a Sunday?) slot videos where you would upload various slots playing at the same time with the trance going in the background. Used to fall asleep to them, but in a good way. I remember Bruce Lee paid out for you.

It doesn't seem anything like 20 years ago since Chris released his amazing work, I have lots of great memories of playing various layouts, being on Fruit Forums and checking in daily. I felt like part of a community, and it all came about through the emulator. It will take a long time before it sinks in Chris is no longer with us. RIP Wizard, Legend
