2nd Version of Channel F Slot Machine found

[FND]

OK I recently found a alternate version of the Channel F Slot Machine Videocart #22

in two different production videocarts

 

What I would like to find out is weather these are just an uncommon version found in

the #22 videocarts or possibly a mistake that were only put into production carts on a

more limited basis

 

If anyone who ownes a number 22 could check and let us know what version you

have it would very much be appreciated.

 

OK here are the specifics I had two (recently sold one) they are both on boards with

the Square cover over the ROM's and no Jumper (the blob type boards have a jumper

that can be cut to turn the cart into a Checkers )

 

Here are pictures of the two different versions the PURSE version (one known to exist

until now) and the NON PURSE version, starts with 500.00 and cannot be changed except

by betting. Also this version has another option that the other does not by pressing the

number 3 you get a slot machine that can be stopped one wheel at a time or all at once by

holding down the controller top button, their is also a green screen with white corners that

will appear when the number 4 is pressed (nothing can be done after this and reset must

be pressed to continue)

 

One last note the grafix in the slot machine are also different in the second version

Wacky. I wonder how many other rom variations there are that we just don't know about? The Channel F isn't very well documented and it doesn't have many champions like many other 'unlovable' systems do (such as the Arcadia 2001). I'd check, but Slot Machine is one of the few titles I'm missing still.

Yes sadly the Channel F does not have a big collector base and the 22 itself is a harder find game so its

it may be awhile before we can figure out how many of the second version their may be

 

True their may be other games that have alternate versions it never dawned on me to check it was only

when I sold one of my 22's and noticed the difference when checking the game before I mailed it

out. I have a large stash of channel F games so I may set aside a day or two to check them all and see

if I can find other versions

Can you post more screenshots of the differences? I'd be interested in seeing them.

If you mean anything I find in the future Yes I will be posting anything I find thats

different.

 

If you mean the #22 the only other difference not shown in the pictures above is

when you win a big payout, there is a moving rainbow that appears across the middle of

the slot machind just above the coin slot that stays their while the system calculates the

payout. Its hard to get a picture before it goes away
