I am genuinly saddened and upset by this news. I remember Alex posting on a pinball forum 20 years ago regarding this fruit machine emulator that played real games. There were only simulators around at the time, some that I'd purchased for £6-£10 pound each, and then there was the emulator playing Nifty Fifty and Alphabet. It was unbelievable. More unbelievable then the first time I'd seen MAME. I was ready to purchase a copy and then a version became available to download and the rest is history.
My late mother used to play the emulator before she passed away in 2004. Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink, Seven Heaven, etc all playable because of one man and his great ability to code an emulator. She would spend hours playing the games that she played at the local Mecca.
I hope that your passing was without pain and that when you passed, you realised how many lives you touched with your gift and how many lives you have potentially saved through your great emulator
RIP Chris (Genius)

Hi,
Stumbled across this the other day and wondered if anyone else had seen it? Basically, it's an 8-bit virtual cosole that encourages homebrew and seems quite easy to develop for. Think C64 specs.
All games are playable in a browser and all include joypad support - I'm using a wired 360 pad
There's loads of original games too. Main website is here
Enjoy

Thanks for this layout - probably one of the earliest memories ofplaying a fruity in a chippy. The chippy by me used to have Brenco's (10p or 20p jackpot) and then one friday, whilst waiting in the queue with my Mom for our Friday Chippy tea, I spied this beast. £1 jackpot with those spongy buttons, that "oinky" nudge noise and that beautiful cabinet. I don't really have many memories of the gameplay. I don't remember the JPM wild symbols but thanks for stiring"something" in the memory

This was one of my favourites, first time I really saw 3D graphics outside of vector.
Only ever played this once in an arcade but it was seemed so advanced for it's time. Even playing it now in MAME, it has that "WOW" factor

Just a quick question - did anyone read any other spectrum magazines?
I'll admit, I didn't like YS or SU. There was just something about Crash that just "clicked" with me. Even now I can remember reading the Xmas edition and feeling a little fuzzy

Just returned from a few days away with the Kids in Great Yarmouth. Used to go here every year with my parents, sometimes twice a year. There were hundreds of arcades in holiday camps, sea fronts. Gorleston, Caister, Hemsby, California - all with magical memories. Track and field, Ghosts and Goblins, Gaplus, Boot Hill, Rescue, Super Sprint, Rainbow Islands, Mad Planets - All bring back vivid thoughts of a certain arcade, at a certain time, with a certain person.
Anyway, it breaks my heart to see the familiar arcades of the 80's changed into ticket vending places - not a retro machine in site. Played an Each way Shuffle by Ace that had been updated but, after £1, I gave up. I need to go to Arcade Club in Bury

It's such a shame that it's been so long since these were updated - The Andy Noble games are excellent.Just downloading the Booty game as this was one of my favourites Speccy games.

I have a Pi 3 running Retropie as well as a SNES mini. TBH, I prefer the SNES mini running the old school emulation stuff - just feels better.
Is there a way of having more memory for games in the SNES mini?
