English Fruit Machines

TTX · 05-03-2007, 09:09 PM

Here you go folks - a video of my 1987 Crackerpot fruit machine in action... The video is best played in VideoLAN's VLC Player, every other player I've tried seems to distort the sound a little.

Apparently YouSendIt requires a formal registration to view or download your video?

Those look awesome. I wish I could get one in the states. Nice Videos Chrish!

I think it's because the file is larger than 50 meg.

Well when I started this Thread back in September, I didn't expect to be sharing my home with soooo many of these Fruit Machines!!

A few weeks ago the following came to live with me:

Cops and Robbers

Austin Powers

Leisure 2000 Video Games Machine

when I get chance and if anyone is interested I will do a little write up and maybe some more Pics??

I would very much like to see a write up on these as they generally aren't available here and look very interesting.

H20Dreams · 05-26-2007, 01:42 PM

I would love to get my hands on one of those! Thanks for the pics!

I've been tempted to buy one

Don't waste your money. All the games on these discs are available free from http://www.fruit-emu.com by the people who create them. Those eBay sellers are just trying to profit from other peoples' work.

Oh, and they're actual hardware emulations, not sims!

Originally from UK, good to see some good old fruities here. Pie factory and LOTR1 especially good on their first programs (wink)

Ya I purchased one of those on ebay. Good thing about the cd is that all the fruit machines are in 1 place instead of having to search around and download each of them from the site. So for me it was a good deal. Kinda funny after I bought it ebay send me a notice that this seller's item is invalid and not to pay the seller. But I had already paid for it. And I got it in the mail 1 week later from England. It is very handy and has TONS of the fruit machines on it. I play 3 or 4 every day.

i think those would sell here in the U.S. if someone could figure out a cheap way to ship them.maybe a dealer importing them by the container load.

Should have asked a few weeks before Christmas. When we closed down the arcade, we had enough fruit machines to fill a 40' container. Now they've been put in a slightly different kind of container...

BTW don't flame me too quickly, the machines in the pictures had already been stripped for parts before the arcade closed down. Pretty much all of the complete working machines were either sold off or given away. We still have some of the better titles (that no-one offered decent money for) in storage.

luckydog · 01-20-2009, 11:30 PM

I would love a fruit machine.

I don't think I have ever seen an English Fruit Machine but it would anyways be nice to have one.

Stinger357 · 01-22-2009, 11:47 PM

I also would like to own one! I imported a german slot from Germany, so I can see it would be easier to purchase one from England since they speak english. Have to think about that one for a bit.
