    So I just spent a lot of the day in an arcade doing my sacks in various modern unplayable horrible digital monstrosities and wishing I'd gone to a Saudi Arabian fairground instead or Skegness Pier at the very least. 

     

    At the front of the shop they have this on £5 jackpot. It's the only genuinely fun game I played all day out of unnecessarily hard profile dodgy bar x kits and vile SG filth. Oh I tell a lie, Reel King multiplier was moderately entertaining for a short while although the gamble feels a little bit suss. Anyway this still beats Reel King multiplier hands down in terms of entertainment value. Back in the day I preferred the latest Deal or no Deals to Reds so somewhat overlooked a lot of these classics. Thanks Reg for this classic classic, I can now mega spin to my hearts content.

    Great stuff, I'll look forward to downloading and playing this when I get the time. It's the sort of game I'd sometimes give a 'board' if I felt lucky but I never recalled winning or losing more than about £50. Quest on  the emulator for a big win coming on strong, so cheers in advance when I do finally down load it.

    It's a solid enough game and in the ilk of 25, note runner, Double Dragon etc It could throw in a very rare slow save £100 top on arcade setting iirc, pretty flat gameplay regular boards, force if you want to waste some time. 

    Cheers Peko, I'm sure I'll download at some point.

    I love a curiosity and did see some of these in the wild back in the day but barely played them as they just reminded me of a coconut shy with the coconuts nailed down. Iirc they had strange buttons which responded to pressure rather than just your standard microswitch on/off, that said they were probably made to look and feel like that to give more of an illusion of easy skill.

    Edit: This is the rare 30p/50p version on £70, pound stake was soon to be added but not on this version, so ignore all my waffle about gold sevens. I assume £20 can still be gotten off 50p but that's not such a useful rip as the 1/12 start won't be jackpot. 

     

    Edited Edit: Revolver is mega streak if you stop 12/5

    "There be gold in them there hills!"

     

    One of the bonuses is rewind (moves back spaces indicated on number reel) which sounds similar to what you describe. I haven't downloaded this....yet....so from memory bonuses were different for outside and inner, like red/blue Barcrest games such as Vamp, Hellraiser, Supernova etc Maybe move in becomes rewind from outer to inner?

    A lot of old Barcrest samples were from the Simpsons. My money is on 'The Boy's clever the boy's good' being from one of the million Simpsons episodes from yesteryear. It sounds more like the sort of thing you'd hear on Dad's Army but I can't place the voice to any of the cast. Also heard on the original Cash Attack that would have been a mid 90s machine. Normal happy board but blocked is £20 same as Alien etc I think there was certainly a 70 version you could rip off the Canons, nudge for bonuses and set up the gold 7s when it wasn't happy enough to give naturally. Occasionally a 1/12 start would give jp else collect. Good effort on the wdx anyhow, thanks, I'll download and see if I can rip some £40s.
