    Default FA Ebay: Channel F SLOT MACHINE Alternate Version

    1 of only Three I know of.

    Released/Sold by ZIRCON.

    My best guess is these were either, part of an early test run
    by Fairchild and then mixed in with the regular releases when
    Zircon took over, Or maybe a mistake by Zircon when doing their
    own second production run. Either way these seems very limited
    in number available.

    That's cool to see, thanks for sharing. My mom had that system which was handed down to me ages ago, wish I still had it. It's a confusing thing seeing a superior prototype versus an inferior for sale game visually speaking there unless it had problems displaying in motion.

    I agree the Alternate Version looks better, Both versions of the Slot Machine game play work and run without glitches or problems
    which makes me wonder why the change? Another difference in the second Alternate Version is that it starts with a 500 purse were
    as the first standard version has the option to set the purse amount. I have wondered if this version was to be part of a Multi-Cart
    Casino version as it also has a second load screen activated by pushing the last console button when setting up options at the start.
    This second load screen is only displayed and after that you need to reset the system to do anything further. Screen looks to have the
    starting of a card game but that is only an assumption on my part. Another possibility is when Zircon did there second production run
    they accidently sent in an early working (only slot machine included) but not complete version of a Casino multi-cart

    Second unfinished start screen opens when using last button during game set-up option settings. Once pushed screen is displayed
    and then re-set needs to be pushed to restart set-up options. BTW this last button option does nothing in the Reg Version so it seems
    to have been added but not finished in this version. Again No effect on game play except during set-up mode if pushed.

    Last button option screen
