I haven't been the same since I discovered the beautiful Poets Portia de Rossi off of Ally McBeal is married to Ellen DeGeneres.

She recently got thrown off a flight after a violent altercation with her wife and then threatened to knock the police officer's teeth out. Gotta love these emotionally stable women https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgq2pez5dyyo

Whilst IPTV is a fraction of the price of a sky sub, I'm happy to pay for the sky interface due to the amount of timeshifting I do - watching cricket from Australia or new Zealand at a time that suits me, for example. Pausing, rewinding, recording, no lag, buffering or other such cock.

I'm reely (geddit?) missing AWPs this week for some reason, so much so that I nearly played the digis and fobties at lunchtime. But I managed not to and have spent the morning on MFME. It hasn't scratched the itch though. If I were in Skegvegas or Blackpool I'd be in the arcade now...

I spent absolutely hours playing this. Apparently if you got all the gems in rainbow order something special happens, but the one time I did it nothing seemed to change!

It's a question I've often pondered and I'm not sure I have a definitive answer. I play fruit machines, whether mfme or IRL, for fun and to pass the time. The problem with real machines is they end up costing me a lot of money, so I try to avoid them these days and haven't put a penny in one since September. So I think the only way MFME keeps me off real machines is the time I can kill at home.

I think Hugo Myatt who played the Dungeon Master was a bit of a nerd himself. I remember seeing him on a cyber security training video once

It always seemed a bit of a fix. Sometimes they lost their life force really quickly and others they were seemingly allowed to dither for ages.

The point is to encourage contribution to the site and to the forum. Then you'll be able to download games.

I noticed them too. My dad had a similar collection as he worked for courage as a stock taker

I wish there were more developers on this forum who could answer such questions. @edwardb - did you have anything to do with barcrest, or know anyone who did?

How much did it pay?!

Do others take screen shots when something happens on an emulated game that is as rare as rocking horse shit, or you never even saw in the wild? Here's mine from today - £100 for blue bars on 'pick a nudge' the fifth feature on the climb that in regular play doesn't like to give more than a tenner. It'll give four melons for £15 if it's really behind average, but that's very unusual. I'm assuming to get £100 from the feature there's a hidden pot in the compensator, but that's just a guess.

Pussies and sausages. Hmmmm...

Is that Oasis website? Must be expensive...

Nice, thanks. I thought the start button on funhouse made a noise like a twanging ruler like we used to make at school, but this one doesn't. It was VERY annoying so I'm glad this one doesn't do it!

Sadly the game just refuses to run. I don't really know what else you need other than a gam and a ram file

Funhouse is a basic clone of Temptation, but with no nudges and winning spins being part of the trail climb. For some reason there's no ram file in the downloads section despite there being a nice DX...

Just uploaded a cashpot-ready file here I think there were different settings available on this, one with at least one free cashpot, and another where it was a regular jackpot. They did that for the ferries to stop players taking the pots and leaving the machines looking like they had been emptied. I think this is one of those. After winning the pot you'll find it really tightens up. Unfortunately the meters don't work so I couldn't tell you how far behind it is.

This came up for me today as a random game, but only the classic of course. Presumably there's no chance of a. dx from these photos.

I didn't know we had a gallery

The download/legacy files are great, but you need to know the name of the machine you're looking for. How about someone, or a team of people, create a gallery of all the machines that have been emulated here? That would be awesome

Neither of those. Trailblazer came up in a recent conversation - it was the tech just before these ones I think with totally different cabinet and buttons. They were strange machines, Wall Street and clones. Despite being hundreds behind you almost never got a win higher than oranges on the reels, and you couldn't gamble more than a couple of times. The only way to extract the value was climb up the trail and collect the features, cashpot or jackpot. I know barcrest clubbers had very fixed amounts of the features themselves, but at least they would occasionally spin in three blue or red bars. And they'd happily gamble all the way to jackpot. As an aside, I found this today. Quite a good resource if you're trying to find a machine image https://www.video-games-museum.com/en/sys/132-slot-machines/4/a

It's a good shout, but no. The cashpot was definitely cherries like wall street, whereas hell's bells has a symbol for it. I have a feeling the machine I'm trying to remember was a light/white colour
