  6. A work colleague remembers Wizard

    in Wizard's Rest

    Posted

    Thank you for sharing with us Mort..

    Its a shame Wizard is no longer with us... I had wondered what the legendary man was like - i don't even know what he looked like, i dare say a pic of him was around in the past on the likes of Fruit Forums etc...

    I once thought how brilliant it would of been to of had a Degsey Degworth video about Wizard - what the man was like, what his own MFME machine would of looked like, the future development of MFME - what else Wizard enjoyed tinkering with etc...  sadly without Wizard we will never completely know but it is interesting to see stuff like this from his workmate.

    Brilliant stuff! :)

  7. Wizard - A Virtual Wake

    Chris.... "Wizard"

    I could'nt believe my luck back in 2003 when i googled "Fruit machine emulation" and stumbled upon the fairplay campaign which was where i found your brilliant emulator for the first time. I was on a mates PC as i didn't yet own one, but after seeing Eastenders fruit machine playing exactly like the real thing, and finding the Fruit Emu site and downloading more, It felt like a thousand christmas's had all come at once.

    Your magical piece of programming, - MFME was the reason i saved up to buy my own PC and in April 2004 i was playing your brilliant emulator on my own PC and it was like a dream... i just could not believe i was playing REAL arcade fruit machines in my own bedroom!

    Thank you for creating the masterpiece that is MFME, and making mine, and countless other people's dreams come true.

    It is such a shame you are gone too soon... 55 years is such a short time. I hope you had a wonderful life, and hope you are now wherever, you would of wished to be yourself.

    Take care, Chris.

    You are a legend.

  8. The Saddest Day

    in Wizard's Rest

    Posted

    I learned of this sad news yesterday, when i went on Youtube to watch the latest Degsey Degworth video.

    I could'nt believe what i was hearing, i didn't want to believe it.

    Reg is right, it's definately the saddest day.

    Wizard's brilliant emulator was the reason i bought my first PC, back in 2004, and I agree with Degsey in that MFME is the most magical thing i've seen a computer do. Have had so much enjoyment from playing it over all these years.

    There is so much i never knew about this programming god, i'd loved to of seen what his MFME cabinet would of looked like, i bet it would of been out of this world.

    Still can't believe Wizard is gone.

    God bless Wizard, take care.

    Ahh that is brilliant to see...

    Brilliant idea of @Reg to come up with "wine for Wizard"

    Thank you @Wizard for the awesome piece of software that we all come to love MFME

    and thanks to the layout designers, and everyone that makes the dream of playing fruit machines on a PC a reality!

    this is an awesome place to be!

    I missed out on the original kickstarter so hoping to get on the 2nd kickstarter if and when that happens...

    I have to say that the Spectrum next keyboard looks awesome... beautiful looking bit of kit. 😍

  24. YouTube Emulation Extravaganza

    Posted

    Looking forward to seeing the gambling low ebbs video... from what i have read here and seen on other youtube videos there are some facinating stories around the subject, I have never been in the shoes of you guys though, I've always been just a casual player, I'm too tight with money to put loads in... i think my record amount i spent in an arcade in a day was £50 but that was a one off.... just a drop in the ocean compared to the true gamblers out there. :)

    You can't actually purchase any versions of CS from Adobe any longer, at least not in the UK.  It's all Creative Cloud.   I got a second hand CS5 from ebay with installation disk etc for around £80.   I then purchased a CS6 upgrade fairly cheaply.

    Cool... maybe i shall do that too... cheers A:E

    <<< REMOVED >>>

    Reg if not allowed please delete the link

     

    Thank you anyway, Vectra :)

     

    So it is looking like Photoshop is the way to go then... nobody has used Gimp for FME by look of it.

    Thank you all for your input! :):):)
