To @Liam I don't see why you would want Monster Money if you have Drac In The Box as these appear to be very similar.
TBF although I do play some of the more recent reflexes these two aren't them so maybe there is a difference ?

There are several videos/users on YouTube showing the methods for the older machines, some using the emulator and some on the real machines. Check posts on here from @Chopaholic as a starter.

From the ZX Spectrum Wiki page ...
From August 1982,[125] the ZX Spectrum came bundled with a software starter pack in the form of a cassette tape entitled Horizons: Software Starter Pack,[126] which included 8 programs: Thro' the Wall (a Breakout clone), Bubblesort, Evolution (an ecosystem of foxes and rabbits), Life (an implementation of Conway's Game of Life), Draw (a basic object-based drawing utility), Monte Carlo (a simulation of the rolling of two dice), Character Generator (for editing user defined graphics) and Beating of Waves (plots the sum of two sine waves)
As Reg says I'm sure there were promotional sales including one or more other games too.

When I got a ZX Spectrum (48k rubber key) for my Christmas present in 1985, Mad Martha was one of the games that came with it..
That's right same for me - I was thinking yesterday how come I had the original but that's why
-
Now this is old
Pretty sure I had the original of this one, possibly the first I owned.

Hiyas
Sorry didn't know what to title the thread, OK today I downloaded the emulator and 2 fruit machines, What I wanted to know is after playing a fruit machine and then closing it , When I open the same fruit machine again will it be in the same state as I closed it or will it be in the same state as when I first played it ?
Thanks Anna
The answer is both.
Normally when you close it will save it's state and therefore when you reopen it will be as you closed it.
However there's an 'exit without saving' option on the menu - in this case it will be in the state when you last opened it.

When it shot the £15 did you read the alpha which would say collect £X repeat or press start ?
-
Use a third party tool such as cheat engine

Remember this one but never really got on with it.
IIRC had a fast loading system from tape, x2 I think

For the original barcode you are only missing 1-2-3
The likes of Spectre and Shogun had differing features but on those any code followed by stop would give you stop a win for potentially the highest cash value.

has anyone got Worms roms?
as thats a game id love to play in emulator.
Have to assume a Scorp 5 version of this exists, after all its a similar game to Toastbusters. @Wildmanslots should be able to confirm.

I'd love to see things like the don deal and tornado - I'm assuming they don't already exist
Sharks of the Caribbean is on here, which is a Tornado clone.

Try the cheat engine speed hack feature, usually used to slow something down but it can speed up aswell, although how good thus would work I don't know.

Why do people still use the old versions? I thought the new one ran just about everything.
mfme 5.1 is used to convert machines in the old format to the new .fml format which v20.1 uses. So you load the machine in and then save it as .fml format.

Many thanks for that long and detailed explanation.
Yes - in my experience, the latest Chase (with a 100JP win symbol) was a huge huge improvement on standard Betcom fodder. Much more enjoyable to play - either on an out and out force - or just for fun collecting things. Many more decentish features, the third and forth levels of streak being reasonably achievable... much much fairer deal offers.... wins between £8 and £25 which would repeat...... and of course a physical deal reel so no dodgy look what you could have won!
In a way - seemed to play like a number of Reflexes which are fair and fun - as long as not playing out and out for a JP. Thins like Jungle Bucks, Drac pack (i think thats the title) Valley of the Kings and a few others.
I really liked this machine - shame this was thier last hurrah - cos they may have managed a huge improvement.
That one (the chase is on) did actually pass test (get approval) so there's lots of them about - having said that it does seem rarer than the other approved ones.
If the AWP JP is ever increased from £100 that would mean the only reel bases that would survive, if any, would be reflex.
Drac pack - do you mean drac in the box ?

Maybe not new software - but new artwork and a license fee to ITV / Endemol to boot! Betcom weren't paying a license fee for Baking Bad and all those.
At the time of the death knoll for AWP's - i'm surprised they were forking out money for licenses.
Fair point
They bought out the DOND licence aswell.
Both these franchises are on the blueprint digis of course, they must have thought the familiar brand would attract the players.

I find it pretty amazing Betcom managed to do three separate AWP's based on The Chase.....
Why is that amazing ? 2 of the 3 you refer to are just versions of existing machines
-
Plunder and Lightning is a similar machine, not sure of the story on that one ? but it's older.

December 2019 I played a DOND Perfect Deal with about 70% of the bulbs out, this meant you were both playing and counting in advance of pressing start eg when a SPIN square with broken bulb was 6 ahead you had to see if it span a 6 when you hit start.
Was quite good fun.

As per the quote above I did a video of the empty which still worked at £35 - @Chopaholic tried to do it but kept having issues IIRC. The only issue is if it gives GATW on board entry as that seems to stuff it up.
