it's because i'm a smart-ass guy 8)

"attacked from outer space" means an invasion! all you have to do then is look at your lineup of games, scream out loud ZACCARIA and the solution is there  :spaceace:

Here is the story of this beauty:
I spotted this cabinet on ebay about a 2 month ago, also posted the link on this forums:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1828.0
I couldn't decide to buy it or not, I bought a lot of cabs in the past months, I'm totally out of space and was a bit low on money.
Finally I let it go.It was sold for 275 GBP.
Than a few weeks ago I found "another" one for sale and when I checked the listing, I realized it's the same cabinet, it was "relisted due to a timewaster".
I had a feeling, that I couldn't miss it this time and finally won the auction for 165 GBP!!!, more than 100 cheaper than it was first time.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250689421589&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Fortunately  a truck was nearby and I received it yesterday! ;D
I can tell you, that this cabinet is in the most beautiful condition I ever saw(it's 32 years old), looks like almost new, no scratches, no peelings, near mint cp, original cardboard with the Lunar landscape, original working Zaccaria pcb.! ;D
There is also a very interesting mirror system in it, I never saw like this before.
The only problem with it, that it has stopped accepting credits.We worked 2 hours in it with my electric expert old friend, but we couldn't fix it, there is something wrong with the pcb connectors.

Originally it is black and white game, but there are 3 color slides(2 green, 1 red) attached to the monitor, so it looks like a colored game, very tricky. ;D
I didn't take pics from the monitor, but I will shoot a video if we can repair it. ;)

that cab looks AWESOME, bela, wonderful catch. you know how the say? "all good things come to those who wait" - yours was a perfect example!

that picture of your girlfriend with the "monster" is hilarious :D. perhaps she's more afraid of your house filling up with cabinets than of that alien invader though ... ;)

You are absolutely right Ully, the room that you see on pics is our anteroom, if you enter our house, you have to follow a labyrinth between arcade cabinets to find way inside! ;D

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?  :)
