I was going to say it's probably JPM...

There were a couple of bingo themed ones around that time too. Reel Magic and Reel Bingo. I think they're emulated.

Roger the pangolin? Isn't that how covid started?

Pyramid is a much older machine, however. Presumably early-mid 80s. We do have some games from that era I think.

Funny you should say that. A certain someone is working on a DX of Pinnacle and will release it shortly.

It was definitely a space invaders game, not questions. Maybe I'm mistaken - I usually am

I'm sure I've played a different version where your prize depended on where you got on the leaderboard

Any further help on this please? I really want to be able to climb through the block at hi-lo notes, but can't find the way to ensure I always win the climb gamble

The original £2/£4 Top Tenner had action cash. It always felt like it deliberately showed the jackpot when the symbol didn't land, then went back to 30p when it did, but having played it a lot lately I guess it's just random.

Not sure why I said JPM. Yes, they are barcrests

There were loads of jpm machines with three word titles like top the lot, stop the clock etc. I loved them

The £2/£4 barcrests like Top Tenner were surely some of the worst, yet they took far too much off me as a student in 1989. Playing them again now I struggle to see why I persevered - basically it's a slow death hoping for the once in a blue moon £2 repeat to go four or five times. I could easily lose a tenner in one, and given that beer was at most £1 that's a heavy loss!

Absolute classic. My dad worked for Courage putting these things in pubs, so we had a stand up asteroids and cresta in the dining room for months

That was the strange thing about the £100 upgrade - the effective jackpot was reduced because they could only repeat once, whereas the £70s were allowed to pay £210

And Sidewinder in my experience almost never went to the top on Air Bomb
