  1. How things have changed - I remember searching through pure numbers with the assembler mnemonic table (which was in the back of the ZX Spectrum manual) - was 35+ years ago mind you
  2. Had a spare 30 minutes so gave it another go: Again with two steps and the MEGA deal game available (and that's a hard combo to get sometimes) it didn't offer any steps at the end. But I had it with two steps and the SUPER deal game available NOT offer steps at the end (all the times I tried before it offered one). So in conclusion it's not going to reliably offer these steps. My thinking was if you could guarantee one step at the end it could not stuff you with a £25 win as you'd be able to step that to MS.
  3. I've just had a play around with this step thing on the deal game using Spartacash and it's not as straight forward as you might think: With two steps and the normal deal game available it actually offered 3 steps at the end. With two steps and the SUPER deal game available it only offered 1 step at the end. Tried this a couple of times. Note with one step and the SUPER deal game available it didn't offer any steps at the end. With two steps and the MEGA deal game available it didn't offer any steps at the end. I tried this a few times. It doesn't appear to be related to the value left at the end but on whether it's the normal/super or mega deal game. Might need more investigation though.
  4. There's a Spartacash Dx on here by @vectra666 however
  5. Yeaharound the 15 - 20 mark was usual profit for me IIRC, I did make 40 on a Spartacash once. One of the Einsteins my way I'm actually waiting for the supplier to swap out as it's been there for ages but I might give it a go if it's still there next visit.
  6. The other one is pork chop. Oddly this one there's a few of around my way. I uses to force them years back, always did well on Spartacash and Einstein but the Pork Chop one I always lost on
  7. Yes @pete_w will approve it
  8. When you start up v20.0 you check for updates and it will upgrade to v20.1
  9. Oh I see - when you play the DOND feature the reel spins but you don't see the resting value until the game is over. This key shows it at any time during the DOND feature.
  10. Its the TAB key - it is in the list
  11. I think the OP means the current percentage at the top right is cut off.
  12. You are quite correct as I found out today out of my local area, its getting to the point that these are a complete waste of time now
  13. MFME will automatically download the ROMs once you load up the legacy games.
  14. You mean winstopper on what's in your box, too fast for me too
  15. 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.
  16. 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 ?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. That's right same for me - I was thinking yesterday how come I had the original but that's why
  20. Now this is old Pretty sure I had the original of this one, possibly the first I owned.
  21. See answers to some of these in CAPITALS
  22. 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.
  23. When it shot the £15 did you read the alpha which would say collect £X repeat or press start ?
