Zaccaria Time Machine | Gameplay

[@prgalahad5139]

Man, when seeing this & playing the Zaccaria Pinball game, it's unbelievable how good the digital version is reproduced!

[@ThomasGrillo]

Just realized I hadn't checked out the solid state section of Zaccaria on Steam. Found out that's where the good models of Zaccaria's tables are housed. Time Machine definitely behaves as the physical one does, for the most part. One thing I've noticed all their tables have in common, is the splashes of vibrant colours, in the lighting, play field, and back glass, not to mention the side art. Gorgeous machines. I don't think any made it to this state, though. I'm only just now, being made aware of them, through these KZbin vids, and the emulators. Again, thanks for sharing this.

[@ThomasGrillo]

@@CrowContinuum Indeed. That would be interesting to see their interpretation of the games.

I play the virtual table on my iPhone and it was a real treat to see the actual table- Zaccaria made some great games - IMHO the 70's - 80's was the best period for pinball designs.

Man, that table is so beautiful. I wish the backplate lit up like that in VR. (Maybe it does and my graphics settings are too low. Haha.) I love the LED additions! This is for sure a table I'd love owning. I was playing this table last night for at least an hour or two and it's so fun trying to balance getting points in the past/future and trying to hit the targets. I see what you mean now about hitting the ramp. You really need a lot of momentum. My problem is just getting the angle right. Haha.

[@ThomasGrillo]

Very cool! And you got that time bridge! Thanks for sharing this.

Excellent! Proud owner of a cool pinball machine! :)

[@isabelleheintz9958]

WE have one and love it but WE need help. The BONUS lights and the lights of the hole don t go on anymore 😭

[@patrickvanden8322]

I owned one of these back in the day, even picked up a spare playfield full of spare parts. Game was Sloooow. But it was my first pinball machine. replaced it with a DE Checkpoint.

[@elsquibbs]

Great to see this up and running.

[@RogerSullivanNOLA]

Nice table, glad to see you get it fully working.

[@valgalder]

a lot (videogame) pinball games have tutorials that give you a good overview of objectives (Williams Pinball collection, Pinball Arcade, etc)

[@electricadventures]

Cool quite a different game from the Pacman one, which is good gives you a nice variety to play with. Now just have to figure out teleportation so I can come over for a game :)

[@Riz2336]

Very cool game. It seems real easy though have these outlanes that you have to practically try to go through and you won't loose a ball through the flippers because the blue ones prevent that from happening.

[@mantas68]

If you like this Zaccaria machine, you should try and play Farfalla. It's ultra-psychedelic and loads of fun to play. :)

[@Mazwreck]

Hey Nice machine :) i am slowly restoring one myself and need a little help. I recently rebuilt the power supply and MPU so now its working but it seems the machine doesn't play right. On start up the middle playfield stays down or sometimes will come up. It understands what mode its in with sound pcb so not sure really what is causing this.

[@Hot80s]

how many Farfallas were built

[@waspspray]

sweet video dude this is very cool

[@MrSilverballmania]

great game just got my night moves working i have to do the ground mods on the thing yet but there fun to play

[@Pingthescribe]

My interest in pinball is more of a casual type, so please forgive me if this a stupid question, but did Zaccaria ever sell any of these in the US? It seems very fun and colorful, so it would be a shame if nobody on this side of the pond got to experience it.

[@davidlineweaver7235]

They've sent a few to the U.S.; I've played Pinball Champ, Devil Riders and Magic Castle over in Ames, IA at various times. Like Playmatic and Segasa/Sonic, Zaccaria seemed to have a brief export spurt which came and went for whatever reason. Which is too bad as they all had some worthy games.

[@MobileDecay]

I actually never knew they made real tables. I thought it was just the Steam software. 😂

[@douro20]

They were once the largest producer of pinballs in Europe and the third largest worldwide.

[@hutieubunrieu]

this so cool, but i don't have it so i have never experienced it 🥺

[@jodyjohnson265]

Zaccaria is deferent from Williams.

[@elsquibbs]

For real pinball machine rule sheets, try ipdb dot org, or pinball dot org slash rules
