- there s not a lot to say about this iconic machine first released in aug 1985 . ive just finished re building this machine and all now seems well with it . appologies for the red smash/grab light not illuminating . quite a fun game with a really catchy jp tune and really showed what was possible with this new tech . this version of the game is running on version 1 roms which give s the player a chance to trade /exchange cash for nudges and also exchange the £3 tokens into £1:50 cash cash with a 50/50 chance of a repeat next time . barcrest got into trouble with the gaming commission and this particular version was banned only making to a ltd amount of places nationwide before releasing another rom version where there were less trade /exchanges to be had . not my all time favourite but one I still love to play . two jps are obtained .
A total, seminal and undenialable classic. Simple, genuis concept.
Those noises, the pig symbol. And the way it spins to a jackpot after grabbing on the jackpot gamble. Simple bliss

Thanks for posting. Loved this machine. Played in my local in 1987
No worries Ian. Glad you enjoyed the vid
That was always one of my top 3: Used to love "Hit The Top" and what was probably the original MPU4 type before these two were released called "Big Shot" if memory serves. Many others such as "Way In", "Stop The Clock(?)" and "Autoroute", not forgetting "Top Gears" were all very playable - more so on the £3.00 JP in my opinion.
Brings back memories of a very much mis-spent youth in the Arcades lmao 👍👍
Thanks for watching graham .I always preferred stop the clock but not taking anything away from this beauty as well ..oh and big shot was barcrest s very last mpu3 machine before stop the clock and sag came out .
@@nedkabinder Big Shot - whoops my bad lol. Almost wish that I had room in my 1 bed flat for one of these old school fruities...... but it would probs piss my neighbour off when taking the payout 🤔. Thanks for the reply 👍
No problem paul glad you enjoyed the vid .a brilliant early mpu4 which is a true classic
Top bandit 😍 great video ❤️
Thanks Steve
Been watching your channel ages , don’t know how I missed this one 👍
I keep a low profile Keith. Glad you like the channel .I dont.do as many vids as some.of.the other guys
@@nedkabinder but every time I look for some fruity nostalgia , you’ve got a video of the machine , nice one 👍
No worries Keith glad you enjoy the vids
If there doctor who DVDs in the background it's like 2 of my favourite childhood memories in one place :)

Absolute gem! Another classic! And in great condition too!
Just one question......they’re not Dr. Who dvds in the background are they???
no probs kieren glad you liked it .thanks for posting
yes indeed they are doctor who vids all from the original series
hi Richard im sorry its not for sale at the moment as ive spent about 6 months restoring it ! I have put a thread on the forum called "mpu mecca " showing how I ve done the rebuilding of this machine . I think you should be able to get an idea of what you require from it .
Ha ha yes they are well spotted .got all the original series
sorry to say Jamie but these machines are highly sought after and you maybe waiting a while to get hold of one . you will need deep pockets too because they are in demand £400-500 ! this is why I was forced to build one as non where coming up at realistic prices . I was very lucky to aquire the bits and pieces to rebuild one from scratch. glad you enjoyed the vid .
Omg how can you trade a third time
Because this was being played on the v1 roms which were banned when it came out in 1985.it gave you unlimited exchanges !
Great machine, now you've finished it I don't suppose you would be interested in selling it? Or at least give me some tips as to where to start for building my own. Thanks
I know where there is one of these in storage
OMG i member smash @grab me want one i have a red HOT WHEELS fruit machine awsom fun loved smash @ grab where can i get this from .please
Thanks for the info, I've looked at your thread and I'm waiting for my account to be verified with the site admin so I can see your pictures. Not sure if rebuilding one for myself will be beyond me but I'll have a good look at your thread. If you do ever feel its time to let your baby go I would love to have the option to buy. We're the parts difficult to source? Any tips on where I should start to look or places you know have certain parts available? Thanks
