The Zaccaria heaven! :o
That row with the Frogger cabinets is incredible! ;D
There is also Cat'n Mouse cab behind the designers, that is impossible to find nowadays! :'(
Thanks for sharing!!! ;)

pictures of assembly lines always impress me. one still wonders where all those cabs went eventually ...

regarding the zaccaria frogger: i know someone who owns one and wants to sell it for 200 euros. one part of me wants it because it's frogger, one part says NO because it's not the american cab. i've been thinking about this for about a year now, still coulnd't come to an agreement with myself :P

When i was collecting my "Midnight run" the seller told me that he just 2 days earlier, had a "Terminator Arcade" but when he turned it on, the screen flicked for just a sec and then turned off...

And then i asked him where the Terminator was, and he told me that himself and his friend dropped it in, the chipper at the junkyard...

WHAT DID YOU?!!!  :( >:( >:( :-\ :-\ :'( :'( NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

But why oh why.... :(

But it looks like a lot of the arcades have gone that way :(

Thanks for sharing this brochure.
These old pictures the Zaccaria offices made me think of people working at the "Dharma Initiative" (from the TV show Lost).
Yes, a tad creepy, but I like it  ;)

If I would have the space I would grab the Frogger right away. I love the Zaccaria version.

Yeah I love the line-up of finished cabs picture !!

Very cool pics ! Notice the administration department picture, not a computer in sight ! :D (Not to mention the design department....)

Do the factory buildings still exist ?

You'd wonder if Mr. Zaccaria has more fun stuff around.... :D

About the fait of most cabs..... considering everything I think it's still amazing how many actually survived.

Also.....if there would still be 100000 Pac Man cabs around today, it wouldn't be half as cool to own one ;)

WOW, that looks cool. My run of 33 cabs (http://www.martijnkoch.com/info.php?language=en&cat=all&big=zk0) is child-play compared to this.... But it's not 1980 any more.
