What is the Simpsons Slots?
the Simpsons Slots is a shareware slot machine game for the Macintosh based upon characters from The Simpsons. It’s the Macintosh’s premiere slot machine and the only one worth playing. It features:
-3 reels
-a maximum of 10 rows
-12 different characters
-digitised speech & music
-high quality graphics
Playing the Game
-This program requires a 256 color, 640x480 (or larger screen), QuickTime 2.1 or greater and System 7.0. It will run on either an original or PowerPC Mac (and yes, it is accelerated for Power Macintosh).
-On the main screen is a slider to control how fast the reels will spin, on my Mac LC575 a setting of 100% runs quite well - on a Power Mac it’s probably best to set it to 50% and on an ’030 machine 200% would be best.
-To resume an old game click on the name of the game in the hi-score table.
-Once on the playing screen, simply choose the amount you wish to bet per row and the number of rows to use. Then click the “Just D’oh it” button to send the reels rolling. If you wish to bet an amount that is not in the betting menu, select “Other...” and type in your selected bet.
-If you have trouble running ‘the Simpsons Slots’ on your computer, try increasing the applications memory size (especially if you are using a Power Mac).
Why Did You Make This Game?
I made ‘the Simpsons Slots’ because I am a fan of the Simpsons and could not find a slot machine game for the Mac that had good graphics, sound and gameplay - hopefully ‘the Simpsons Slots’ combine all these elements.
