Re: Galaxia

Similar to the Zaccaria version?

This one above is Super Galaxian but there is an equivalent Galaxia marque one.

Yeah, the Vanguard's are lovely machines :-)

Uh, Ah ! Yes, my mistake it wasn't Bertolini but Zaccaria ! So probably bootleg !

Exactly that machine but indeed with a Galaxia marquee.

you are totally right about that bruno! - That ATARI Avalance was very nice looking
Here´s the pic from KLOV:

Vould be a great addition to any collection, however the gameplay seems a bit booring...

Says who ? You played it in Mame ?

It's not always about the gameplay....this is one rare beast.

It's very much like Kaboom! by Activision. In fact, they "stole" the idea from Avalanche for Kaboom !

Yes very basic gameplay (as usual with the b/w games from the 70's) but I guarantee it's HARD. This is a very good player:

did you guys know that rotheblog did a blog on this ?

http://www.rotheblog.com/2009/11/arcade/arcade-warehouse-raid-belgium-netherlands-europe/

I like that he says that the fanatics hang out here at DLF  ;D

Within collecting there are many different factions, interests, regional and even national groups and there are many different sites for those arcade enthusiasts. My general impression is that the real arcade collecting fanatics hang out at Dragon’s Lair Fans, and late October one of the more hardcore collectors (Level42) came across an operator with a warehouse that was like a step back in time.
