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

The oldest I've ever felt was in the pub with @woodsy, and one of his mates was also there with his 18 year old girlfriend. So basically I'm in the pub with someone young enough to be my granddaughter

That's a good discussion - how long have you managed to make a quid last? In Keele services in the early 90s they had a Mario Bros pinball game that me and a mate were so good at we could basically last indefinitely. For whatever reason it didn't increase the replay score much, so we'd play as much sas we wanted and almost always got a replay and maybe even a match at the end, leaving it full of credits when we got bored.

Lol. Took them three months after the £10 cash release to get the machine to stop looking at the token sensors

I just got killed at £5.80, even though it offered jackpot on the previous board

Oh, my mistake

So who was bastardising @Projectgilda's code, because he's adamant it was 50/50? We all know machines that would ALWAYS go to the top on nemesis.

Cool, I look forward to it, whenever that might be

Any progress on this chaps?

Looks great. I want one! Although you could do with a 4th hold button for clubbers...

That reminds me at my golf club many years ago playing Blackjack Club, which let me climb to the pot, which was £100, but it wouldn't let me climb past it to the £100 jackpot and leave the pot intact. It just gave 'snap' constantly, so after about two dozen attempts I assumed it was blocked and collected the pot.
