Crazy Fruit - Released May 2002

[Symo]

I like the feature in this game.

[Admin1]

The new version of Crazy Fruit corrects a bug! During the Golden Grape feature, the game was incorrectly allowing scattered golden grapes to appear on reels 1 and 5.

Please see this link (http://www.pokiemagic.com/downloads.htm) to download the latest version (14.3.2.3)

[Symo]

I thought that they were ment to appear on reels 1 and 5 /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Me too!!!! so much for hoping to get 5 golden fruits *sob*

Next thing we will find out that the Golden Dragon feature is only supposed to have 3 dragons in the second phase....I hope not. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Admin1]

The Crazy Fruit bug was around since the version 14 upgrade. This game was terribly difficult to upgrade to the latest versions at it was stubbornly uncooperative to program.

As for "Golden Dragon" and getting four dragons - its possible. Although we have only actually seen it whilst in cheat mode! It would be a very rare actual payout. Even though the new version of Golden Dragon (download here, version 14.3.2.3) (http://www.pokiemagic.com/downloads.htm) pays more Mahjoing features, the Golden Dragon feature is still somewhat hard to win.

[Symo]

CHEAT MODE!?!?! I want tha cheat mode.....Just kidding.

Yeah! I've noticed that it is really hard to get that pesky Golden Dragon feature up /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Admin1]

All of our games have cheat mode built in. The tricky part is working out how to activate it /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Please don't tell me!!

One thing that bugs the heck out of me is No. 1 son getting a new game....and then getting online to get the cheats before he even plays it. Would prefer not to know cheats if possible. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Admin1]

Hmmm, sounds fair enough to me.

As far as we know, nobody anywhere has yet worked out our cheat mode.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Hmmm. From memory (and a VERY early version) there is a hidden menu function, starting with "A".

Delete this if you dont want it known. *grin*

[Admin1]

It is definitely NOT a good idea to do *that* anymore. It has several "unintended" consequences /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

We actually re-released several old versions with the new mods in place to deal with such errant activity.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

LOL.

dont worry, it happened pretty much by accident, and I dont even think about it anymore.

I'm about to put my computer thru the wall trying to find this screenshot though!!

[Symo]

Hey I've got an idea!!!!

I give up looking for the screenshot /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
why do you give me a free copy of Bunny bucks because of all the stress of giving up the pokies and all..... /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Confused about your remarks where you said, "It is definitely NOT a good idea to do that." Prior to that you said, "All of our games have cheat mode built in. The tricky part is working out how to activate it /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Are you speaking of 2 different things here? Many console games as well as computer games are designed with built in cheat codes. I take it you don't want your players using them.

[Admin1]

There is no "downside" to our cheat mode. Its just tricky to try and find it.

What we were referring to is using "stolen" rego codes. Its definitely not recommended.

[mike]

Finding your cheat code would be about as hard as finding your hidden screenshot /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif .I finally gave up on the latter, even used a program to follow all your links which downloaded umpteen gif's and jpg's but no bunny. Kinda like looking for an 'easter egg' (pun intended) /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Petals]

I don't reckon they put it anywhere - they are all having a laugh at us getting frustrated and running programs!!

To prove me wrong Admin, show us where it is!!! This is a dare!! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Admin1]

Oh its there alright.

CLUE:
Say the following OUT LOUD, then answer the question below.

COP COP COP COP COP COP


What do you do when you get to a green light?

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Go faster before the damn thing goes yellow or red. lol.

Dont see how that helps finding the screenshot though....
Oh well, I'm not alone in not being able to find it.

I was actually referring to a menu system named after your good self, Admin, not the stolen rego codes spread far and wide across the Internet.
It was that which I accidentally accessed in an early version.

As we find these codes, we disable them. We will set a bounty on them soon, find a code publically listed, and you receive a new code yourself. Something like that.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Sounds fair enough to me.

I emailed you already with what I know. I imagine the 2nd Generation engine will fix that particular one.

Good luck. You deserve all the money (not just pokie credits) you get.

Why thank you. The hardest thing about doing this part time is answering all of the email promptly, and monitoring affiliates, and updating the web page, and posting to the web board, and designing new games, and updating old games, and finding new bandwidth providers, and monitoring newsgroups for cheaters, and developing new game engines, and learning new software tools to make better programs, and working out how to pay for the bandwidth.

Its all good fun though.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Okaaaaayyyyyyyyy. Geez and other such comments. You need help!!!!! (as in assistance, not as in psychological)

You really need to find time for a couple of other things in there..... sleep, food and breathing come to mind. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Admin1]

Your PM has been received Greg, I will put it to Sue shortly!

[Sue]

Hmmmmmmmmm

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

After the dragonish events of tonight, perhaps I should withdraw the offer......

Up to you.

Is the fruit real
Admin

Most of the fruit in this game was supplied by Woolworths Weipa Queensland Australia....the rest came from Melbourne Australia.

----------------------------------

awwww....cmon. I grew up in Melbourne. You got fruit from there???

--------------------
Greg
Find out from the experts what is impossible and why....then go and do it!!!

----------------------------------------------


Symo2003

It could be worse. The fruit could've come from South Australia

--------------------
If ya don't like me, BITE ME!

Admin

Yes well. The fruit and veges here aren't always the best. We do live about 800km from the nearest city.

[Little Angel]

A crazy Fruit 6reel would be good later on down the track, and make it a lil easier to get the golden grape features too. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Marg]

if it was easier to get the freebies it would be nice. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nut.gif

[**DONOTDELETE**]

HI,

heheheheheehhee, I agree with Marg but it cant be made to easy. You need that intense need and desire to get the feature and then get the feature again, if you got it every second go the game would become boring hehehehehehe.

On that note Admin, do the ODDS change in the favour of the house or player when it comes to 6 reelers and the features. Basics would say yes as you have 1 extra reel to get it with say 18 different symbols 9 to ace then pictures.

But whats the real deal, Its harder isnt it ???

Comeon you can tell us heheheheehehe

Wiz, having done quite a bit of statistical compilation on the Pokie Magic games (I was bored....they didn't ask!!), I can tell you that the 6 reel games definitely pay the feature more often than the 5 reel versions.

(With the exception being Coral Cash...the 5 reeler actually gives a feature about 1 in 42, versus 1 in 45 for the 6 reel version. This is based on about 10,000 spins of each).

Normally (according to my data) the average ratio of spins to features is about 10 better on the 6 reel versions. In other words, as an example, the 6 reel version of Golden Dragon will pay a feature (on average) approx once every 58 spins, whilst the 5 reel version pays a feature (on average) approx once every 70 spins.

(remember, those figures are on average and on my machine. The results may vary wildly from machine to machine and for less or more spins......there aint no promises here!!!).

Hope that answers your question. It wasn't a big secret, it just takes a lot of time to compile the information.
