Welcome back and great to read up on another machine post (youve done one or two 😉)yes sadly the mecca isn't as busy as it once was but is still a good place .sadly or happily there are many new forums on fb which have poached members which was always going to happen . Mmm yeah id agree with you on almost most points regarding nbn . It really wasn't a great game and desperately needed new features injected into an oldish idea . You could almost say it was made for the bingo hall environment and perhaps it was but I dont remember playing any in seaside arcades but oddly im sure I remember seeing at least one .I use to own one ,having purchased it from the late Mike stead (mds) and didn't gel to it .I was never a fan of the double/ nothing gambles these later mpu3 gave and much prefered the roulette wheel or straight ladder climb/reel spin type gamble of earlier machines . Each to their own pete but razzle was a far better machine in my opinion and possibly fortune numbers too even without an exchange when compared to nbn . I think it was an ongoing thing with barcrest and its special/super series win spins that they were from the outset very mean and we never got what we expected even with the club machines. Oddly the club machine s even stated a maximum of £100 could be won off special series but it never happened of coarse . I think the writing was on the wall once the tall cab came out with the likes of strike a light and odds on as nothing new was really injected into the mpu3 game play with odd exceptions like razzle and autoroute .it was only at the end of the mpu3 reign that big shot showed promise . I'd give naughty but nice a 5/10 too as I do like the sounds and artwork very much . Oh and just one thing you didn't mention was the intended inclusion of a scavenger type mech to accept 1p/2p&5p coins for credits. The only other to include this was autoroute both using em5 mechs which were very unreliable .what was going through the minds at barcrest was anyone's guess but probably a arcade owners worst nightmare sifting through 100s of 1p and 2p coins ! Imagine putting in 10x1p coins just for one credit 🤷🤦. Anyway great write up and most enjoyable and hope you can do a few more .👍
