This is very interesting. See your version "Zaccaria / Italian version"  :arrow:



... and let's compare to the original version "TAITO / Japanese cabinet"  :arrow:



For example; the control panel is almost the same, it's funny to see the differences  :) They have to change few graphics on the overlay  ;D

Well, a license would have been named Space Invaders right ?

KLOV also rates it as a bootleg. Belike, any indications of "Licensed from Taito" on /in the cab ?

I really think this is a bootleg.

According to this site it isn't license but also isn't a bootleg. Its a port but i dont know what that means in the arcade bis.

There is absolutely no sign of any manufacturer or license, I think it was not a totally legal product from Zaccaria. ;)
It is also strange, that in this video it has a different cpo:

There is also one in Paul's site (in year 2004 archive) and in KLOV similar to mine.

I found only these instructions attached to backdoor:

Very nice catch Belike. I always find these Zaccaria games very attractive, must be the Italian origin I guess. You gathered quite a line-up in a very short time. Any gameroom building plans?  :)
Thanks Erik, I have huge plans for a gameromm or maybe for a small arcade, but I have to win the lottery first. ;)
To be serious, there is a grill terrace behind our house that we don't use too often, I'm planning to convert it to a temporary gameroom. :D

The same thing before copyright law got serious, I'd imagine.

Great catch! This is really a gorgeous cab and in perfect condition! Have fun with it!  ;)

For first sight it seems like 10-15 cabs and 1-2 pinballs could be fit in there, depends on the measures of the BAR! ;D

That's a great idea.
