WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

Some updates to this install to add support for another version. I'm not
actually sure v1.0 of this install ever worked with the original, as a CRC
check in the patch relied on a cracked disk image! I've retooled the check
to be more permissive so hopefully all versions should now work.

Added a few missing fixes like empty loops that run too fast, trainers, etc.
Nothing much exciting to say about this game. It's another fruit machine
simulator. I'll let you decide if that really constitutes a game. :-)
