Does anyone remember the HP Kayak series???? These were a huge workstation that used the short lived 'rambus' memory. They had a digital display on the front and only used SCSI drives too. Usually came with a 36 or 72Gb drive. Am pretty sure they ran later big cache Pentium III series with Xeon as an option. I did run a very early version of MFME on there during the mid 2000's. Needless to say it flied along.

Just had a look through the legacy section. Wow. Fantastic work from Geddy. Seriously appreciated here mate. Its amazing how playing a machine that you last played during you teens brings back so many emotions. Chances are your mum and dad didn't know you were playing, the thrill of winning a few quid, or in one case trying to make it out of the chippy without being lynched by the local herberts having cleared the machine out. Truly toasting work.

I seem to recall a machine called 'Break and Take' which had a cousin called 'Crack the Egg'. Am I just making this up or is there a version of this machine to download and play?

Just did so. Well earned too in my opinion. Put it another way, how much money would you have thrown into one of these modern fruties and not even got a sniff of a prize? Far better off putting a few pennies in here and getting guaranteed enjoyment. You can almost smell the fish n chips, kebab or pub surroundings when you hark back to an 80s or early 90s FM. Will give it a day or so and have a root around in the legacy area.

Hi All Has INSTANT REPLAY and RAZZLE DAZZLE been converted to run on MFME 19+??? Not getting access to downloads so probably time to stick a few quid into this forum like I used to into fruit machines. Considering what you pay for computer games etc I think its only fair to stump up for all the guys hard work on here. So far have only ponced Cheers.

Glad it wasn't just me then!! Yes I think the jackpot was about £20 which was quite a lot of money back then. Am sure there was a 'repeat' feature that adults couldn't work out of which was the way to get the money too. The 'reels' span to an electronic 'sparkly grinding' noise if that's how I can describe it. Can fondly remember me and my bro emptying the machine surrounded by German and French kids with open mouths. There's probably a thread elsewhere about it but I think the fact some of us 80s reprobates were already messing about with 8 bit computers, hacking and poking them etc gave us a huge advantage. Even though we were legally not supposed to play fruit machines!!!

Hi all Currently enjoying an extremely sentimental trip back in time with the emulator plus the likes of Nifty Fifty Takes me right back to my teenage years spent playing in kebab shops etc. Anyways....both me and my bro can recall a half size slot machine that we played in Spain in about 1985. Instead of reels it had a coloured dot matrix display display that used to display about 8 different 'fruits'. Am sure it had 4 'reels' too. Like many on here who used to play I was around 12 and my brother 9. Being a kid gave you and an advantage i think as you had that uncanny ability to work things out. We more or less emptied that machine every night until the bar manager barred us from playing! Just wondered if anyone can remember these types of machine. Never saw one in the UK. Cheers
