  1. I'm assuming it's the music on the Bonus or the top feature? It was also featured on Double Impact.

    I have managed to ID this tune! It's off Extreme Music's "Hardcore" album.

    Track 2: INT. Anthem

    I will add this to my fruit machine music spreadsheet.

    Not been too well myself just sporadically checking in noticed this on the pull requests on mame seems to be a bgt uk machine?

    Barmy Army seems to be a barcrest machine

    bgt.cpp: Remove skeleton driver and fold sets into neptunp2.cpp

    Sorry missed this post - BGT did a machine with the same name in that horrendous 'piano keys' cabinet. I played it once in 2005 and it had a tenner for the board. Only ever saw the one unit. Super Suits was more common.

  3. Not paid any attention to it really, it's fairly obvious how the machine works so I don't really know why they have that message built in to any game. 

    Incidentally you say you've found ROMs. Were you planning to make a classic? Just to let you know one has been made already. Game is absolutely dire to play.

    Sound roms missing 

    You say "Sound ROMs missing" which insinuates program ROMs are available? I'm being daft/blind/both but could you link me to them? Ive had this machine on my to-do list for years and given it a fair bit of play over time. I don't mind giving it a go even if mute for now.

  5. Completely skint and happy? I don't know. I always wanted a bit in backup or reserved for drinks. I suppose losing the gambling pot and happy is more apt.

    I used to visit a pub in Wales near a relative's house. They had a Cops n Robbers on 10p 5 quid, so I'd just walk to the separate bar area where it was, row money in, and chat to the barman for a good hour or two on a quiet day. Needed some in reserve to keep my drinks flowing of course! In Japan now I would say 95% of the time I lose all my pot I'm happy and well entertained. The other 5% would be due to all the machines being played or a seriously boring session, which is very rare. Any time I met up with good friends for a pub crawl was another example. I would just play whatever without a care in the world; the machines were an addition to the day and/or night and whatever happened happened. My main regret was self-assessing myself as too drunk to play a couple things and running with an early Collect tbh. Some of the machines we had in clubs round my way in university.... I left a fortune sitting there...!

    I'd say up til now my most recent "skint and unhappy" session would be back in 2018. I lost on everything in fairly cold blood, went to my local standing bar and ordered a beer. Upon taking the first sip a f**king horsefly came in, landed on my arm, and bit me for NO reason at all. I then spilled my beer.

  6. That Whats Up Doc? clubber was done several times over, so it will be in the older cabinet no doubt. Slightly different to the machine you posted though so I wonder if there was an exact clone..... There was also another clone but not hospital themed, called Wacky Weekend. This is on MPU4 and can be played now.

    There was also a pool version that paid real money. Trickshot money pool or something it was called. Can't seem to find images or any trace of it online. Remember you had to pot like 3 balls to start earning money then you get a choice to cash out or play on to win more.

    That pool money machine you're on about, IIRC it was made by Konami and had that cue ball prop there. The other one was made by the people that did that Pharaoh's Gold machine and was called Trick Shot. (was it by Nova Games or something?) Either way, the Novas seemed to go faulty and were removed, but they were fairly prolific. It was more than the parts were hard to access if something simple like the gun broke it would take ages to get it apart.

    Oh and we might as well not forget Silent Scope Fortune Hunter. That's somehow more famous and there are a few variants. Probably popular as it would be easy to peddle the "You missed" screen when the target is so far away.

  8. Hello Chris, 

    I wanted to say thank you for a few things, if you've the time.

    I want to thank you for always being patient when I was finding it difficult to get my first layouts off the ground.

    I also want to thank you for your dedication to the scene and emulator throughout. For listening to us and maybe even at times placating us. It is still a shock to think as Degsy said that this emulator was being updated as recent as the end of June.

    But more importantly...I want to thank you for being the driving force behind the scene which I have been a part of for fifteen years and counting. It is you to whom I owe the creation of a lot of very good friendships, and sanctuary in difficult times.

    We never met but we sometimes talked. One day let's all meet at that great big retro arcade jn the sky.
