Mega Crane

The Mega Crane is a crane game series released by ELAUT in 1997.

This series of Crane Games come in 1, 2, 3, or even 4 (quattro) player form, and run on ELAUT's "Eurograb" PCB, which was first introduced in 1994.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack on Mega Cranes consists of a coin insert sound effect, movement sound effects (high pitched beeping) up/down sound effects, a grab sound effect, a lose sound effect, and a win sound effect that says "A WINNER" The attract music is called "Oxygene Part 4" by Jean Michel Jarre. The attract version of Oxygene is different to the original as it sounds more different and like a cover.

Appearance
Mega Cranes can be either blue or pink, and have a marquee at the top of the cabinet and on either side of the machine that reads "Mega Crane"

On 3 player Mega Cranes, the front marquee simply just reads "Mega" and Quattro Mega Cranes are very similar to Topper Quattros, but rather than being red, they are either blue or pink, like other Mega Cranes, and the sign even says "Topper Quattro" they are however referred to as Mega Crane Quattros due to the colour of the cabinets resembling Mega Cranes and also because they have Mega Crane boxes inside.

"Cosmic" Mega Crane
Cosmic Mega Cranes look very much like normal Mega Cranes, the only differences are that the cabinets on Cosmic are bigger, and also the marquee reads "Cosmic Crane" rather than "Mega Crane"

Default Cosmic Mega Crane claws are gold and consist of 3 rods, however many operators, like HB Leisure, have changed them for more normal looking claws.

Other Information

 * Some Mega Cranes have the Topper Crane soundtrack, this is most likely due to the boxes being swapped. One two-player Claw Machine at K's Funworld uses the Topper Crane and it's "jungle book" music
 * Like Topper Cranes, Mega Cranes are also on the decline due to their age and again, because arcades want newer machines.
 * Mega Cranes can be rigged without a processor by using the ELAUT microcontroller, like almost every crane using the Eurograb PCB.
