I like the artwork, the fact that they are made in europe and those where the cabinets seen here in my area bitd
although there where also alot of generic cabinets here with bootlegs in them (Royal Video)

there is something about them.

although is the cabinet shown in your pics, the least attractive IMHO

Hmm..I have to admit, not so much of a fan of the pictures posted here, BUT:





I absolutely adore the artwork on these beauties

Guess i'm just a sucker for retro sci-fi artwork  8)

I love them too. Imo Zaccs are one of the essences of the 80ies, the cheapo part if you want to put it that way.

Cool! Someone got a Puckman running :)
Whatever one may say about them, they are distinctive and have a style & flare that's all there own.
