The Absolutely Incomplete Zaccaria's Aracades Catalogue

[vernimark]

We should open a thread "Post your ZAC label here" with the game and cabinet related. Is there a better way to have a first census?

[Etienne MacGyver]

Good idea !

[vernimark]

I fund THE INVADERS original schematics. Are there already available on the web?

[vernimark]

oh, I forgot to post a new gadget here

[Etienne MacGyver]

Those keys are cool !

I have one in my CK, althouh it has a different shape 

Anyway, you should use some brass polish, look what it does to it  

[vernimark]

Cool!!

I'm starting now compiling the production and I have some questions for the experts

1. Have you ever seen FIREBIRD? Is it a port of something else??
2. Any information about EGGOR? I found it on KLOV
3. same question for SEA BATTLE, do you think it is a port?


PS @Paul, you can update your website: ZACCARIA CIRCUS exists. There are at least 2. One is in a friend of mine collection, I had the other one but I trade it. The buyer is one of the worker that in those years made this cab; he is collecting all cabs he produced so it is in good hands...
Looking at you web page I can see sometimes you say "port of..." and some other times "licensed". is there a difference? Do you mean ported games are not licensed but bootlegs?

I notice this:

or:

in UR2 you extract "Laser Battle" and put int in UR3

or (IMO preferit shape division)

you Identify UR2 to UR5 by the shape...and not the marquee.

I'm wrong (and probably you are bored to listen to me) but the usual shape for that Zaccaaria UR are only 2 type:

1. QUASAR-SPACE PIRATE-SCRAMBLE (I think oldest one side art....coin box are inside the the coin door)

2. VANGUARD (I supposed newes shape)
2a. STARS SPLASH color BROWN (DARKNEST ONE...the coin box open like "garage door")
2b. STARS SPLASH color BRIGHT (azure and dark blue....the coin box open like a door...it have the black frame around)

VANGAUAR and STARS SPLASH have the same shape: curved rear top, all the rest straight rear top.

Identify the game by Marquee or control panel or bezel or a mix of this part it's very hard.

There are many unknown games, identify by Marquee only (Fantasy, Tactician, Locomotive ecc..)...ad also Mr. Do! I belive
There are same games with a FULL THEMA cab: Vangauard: The side art, the marqee, the CP, the bezel.
There are a lot of games identify by component:  marqee, CP, bezel (Eyes).
 
...I repeat It's only my opinion..for a simple systematic way

It's only a advice about the cab.
Feel free to consider it....or not.

I'll start scanning in the remaining manuals that I have, but here's another that might not be in any better shape than the previous scans of this manual:

http:\\www.zzzaccaria.com\manuals\CrazyKongTechnicalManual.zip

Firebird there is a curved marque but I suspect that it's a distributor or third party bootleg Phoenix conversion kit.

Sea Battle exists as a flyer and I've not seen a reference to it being derived from something else. Folks have said it was produced and claim to have seen the cab originally. There is a possibility it may be of the same lineage as Scorpion.

Eggor I've never seen Zaccaria board or any Zaccaria parts for it. So far it appears to be unconfirmed.

Did you notice that a Zaccaria Kangaroo surfaced on Ebay over the last few days? Dedicated CP and marque.

In my list, "Licensed" means that the exact game was used. "Ported" means that the same game was reprogrammed onto different hardware (like Galaxia is from Galaxians and Astro Wars is from Astro Fighter).

It's great to here that a Zaccaria Circus has survived

I think could be interesting to associate the cabinet type to the serial number. I don't know if serials depend on the game only or on the cabinet type too.
Here my conventions
