Remembering dead NetEnt slots - RIP

[sufferinsilence]

Ghost Pirates was NETENT.

[Jono777]

Old Flash player Netent slots were mostly great (could apply this to many other providers too, Rhino, Monty, IR, JP) nowadays mostly crap and can't remember the last time Netent put out a really good slot (Jungle Spirit?) all Red Tiger crap now.

Had a soft spot for Fisticuffs and Go Bananas and had some good hits and cleared loads of WR on them back in the day.

Great thread

Edit: Did also think good old Eggomatic had bit the dust as I only play at VS, good to hear it still lives, although unlikely I will get to lay it again (leaving the typo I just spotted ) due to VS retiring it. Jingle Spin or whatever the clone is called just does not come close.

I remember having built my balance up to around £250-300 from a menial deposit, thought I'd have a bash at this odd-looking, simplistic slot called

'Arabian Nights'

Spun around six times, shat my pants, didn't win the jackpot, never played it again

From their newest games Space Wars 2 is pretty entertaining. Low volatility for todays standards and the bonus isn't that hard to get.

You know what? These threads have been here before, or something to it's tune, and i also find myself missing tons of old epic favorites...
Not only some great Netent titles such as you guys discussed (Demolition Squad, Attraction, Lost Island, the Funky series, Wishmaster, and many more), but also a lot of other providers..it's strange but i miss some of those old slots more than some of my old friends

That said, shouldn't we be able to have some sort of weird niche Casino, that targets 'old school gamblers' like myself, and most of us here, who would necro all those lost and dumped slots, if/where possible? I'd 100% sign up for that! Shouldn't be too hard with some sort of emulators, aggregators, archaic OS's, i'm sure they can figure it out

Anyone know how to get such a ball rolling?

 

[degerardo]

OMG those games, Go Bananas, Wonky Wabbits, Theme park and South Park, I have memories to play until 4am some days
I am adding on also Planet of the Apes and Farm-something and that game of two characters punching - Box something wow, such a great memories! I am very surprised that those games are gone from their catalogue - that was what makes them really stand out in the market

Man, Fisticuffs and Go bananas I was hooked like crazy + Planet of the Apes and that Farm Tornado or what was the name

Tornado Farm Escape.

OK, so here's my last batch NetEnt of slots I liked to play occasionally, but are no longer here...
(Including some that people have mentioned above)

I don't even remember this first one but I found a screenshot of it from 2011:




I DO remember this - and I liked it quite a bit










I also really liked the game-play on Magic Portals...





Tornado was FUN!


Wonderland (I think it was NetEnt)




That's all folks!
But maybe I will do MG next

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but another favourite I used to play, and when feeling particularly flush that I could brave 25p bets instead of the usual 20ps was Victorious. A well-made little number whose strength laid in its simplicity, and nicely done audio-visual design.

Secret of the Stones is another modern classic that perhaps doesn't get the plaudits it deserves, despite its fantastic bonus potential setup. Yes, it may have lost 'something' in the dreaded HTML port, but when wanting to throw a Hail Mary on low balances, and DOA just not appealing, there's few games better, shirley

And lest we forget Scarface, Netent's first decent foray into licensed territory, meaning that when tasked to honour the IP, they were capable of delivering the goods. Yeah the 'grid' bonus was kind of terrible and near-enough pre-set, but there was enough variation in the base game and onscreen variety that it somehow never got boring. Back when Netent weren't cocka-roaches

Is Vile Torture still about? (you know, 'Radical maannn')

Wild Water? - Did get the HTML5 treatment (or was it launched this way and never on flash, can't remember??)

Anyway its not at VS, whether elsewhere, not sure.

Mythic Maiden is definitely still around!

I played Wonderland and Magic Portals were not so long ago, but I can't find them anymore so they must've been removed recently.

 

[KasinoKing]

Missed one!
Don't know how, because I had a MASSIVE 517x win on it
Mind you, I obviously didn't play it very much, as this was the ONLY win over 100x that I had on it...

I loved this one! I rememeber when the 'thing' was when you'd get match up Free Spins or loyalty Free Spins in many Casinos, redeemable ona wide range of Netent slots! I'm sure many of us always cheekily went to either this one, or the Groovy series for the higher denomination/value!

Deffo served me well on a few occasions, even recall an insta-cashout when i got the feature on spins with no WR
Crazy how big Netent was in those days!

Pragmatic just re-skin these but make them almost impossible to win on.

 

[goatwack]

Plagiarizing the 'look' of a game or provider doesn't the same game make, as commented upon. Most software houses are more than capable of producing good graphics, sound etc (albeit Netent had a 'charm' unique to them)

And as much as the front end of a game is important from a 'pick up and play' perspective, the reason players were drawn to the likes of NE was that medium-variance ruled the roost, and so you could be sure that the gameplay alone could sustain a session AND entertain the player, ie customer.

A far cry from today's pseudo-clones of far better games, where modern companies believe customers owe them their loyalty based on some limp-ass licence or edgy theme, because that's apparently what matters to players!

Start tinkering with the variance too much and it becomes unbearable. It'd be akin to watching the Antiques Roadshow and basking in the serenity of it all, laughing as morons try to pawn granny's earrings in the hope of making millions, before unbeknownst to you, in that calm haze, the cat decides to apply all of its weight onto the Volume button, and you recoil in horror as Fiona Bruce bellows through the screen as the bars tick up to 100.

Give me Netent slots over the 'modern' titles any day. I'd rather spend an hour in a newsagent watching chavs squeal with delight as they win £20 on a scratchcard after having spent £50 of their CP than play Pratmatic or any of their ilk. But each to their own eh

In nostalgia mode, as we near the end of another year, I was looking through my NetEnt screenshots folder with a tear in my eye for some of the great games they once had but were scrapped

So here I share some of my best wins from games which are no longer with us... starting with the ones I miss the most.
(If you know of any of these which DO still exist - please tell me!)
Also, if you have any of your own - please feel free to post them in this thread!

[dave1888]

Miss Thunderfist, Subtopia and Alien Robots. Also had 1000x on Silent Run. Subtopia was my first Mega big win 3 of the girl with wild at best multi with 9 linesx10p on still remember it vividly had only deposited £50.

Frankenstein went, all because a german dude found a loophole. Sad, was a great game indeed.

There was some loophole honestly? Wow, to be honest, never heard of it and i played it a lot back in a days.

 

[dave1888]

Speaking of antique netents… the classic slot Reel Steal keeps bonusing just now may be worth a shot tonight guy. Just no significant hit.. yet!
