I need help with some mysterious machines I have seen on a roadtrip

Wow, never heard about that Portraits ! Must be the only one know in the world
Flyer says it has a TI speech synthesizer but even more interesting, it seems to take a digital picture of the player when he gets the high score and displays it ! Not unique but this idea was launched with Journey as well I believe but ditched because of the "dirty" pictures people were taking

http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=3531

It had a whopping 256 Kb just for that digital picture which seems a pretty high investment in RAM for just that feature at the time.

Awesome find that place !!!

Found in an unMamed list that Safari (Zaccaria, 83) is a clone/bootleg of Olympia's "Portraits".

The only one in the world sounds a bit overly exited....but to know more about numbers and regions would be interesting.

In what country was the company Olympia located?

I think uou are right chris, if you take the next pic in line you have a closeup of the joystick, which looks like the "pinstyle" suzo that looks like the pinstyle that zacc used.
Also if you check the font of "control base" and "fire", thats a typical font zacc used.

Exactly: font and joystick gave it away.

The Joystick also catched my attention but the Zac´-cocktails in web do look like everything but the one in my pictures:

I did´nt see the coindoor but will double check it on the video.
I think the controls are on the short side on the cab I saw....but I am not possitive on that.

Olympia is an Italian company

Thanks for the insight...as Olympia being an european company I think there should some more Portraits around in Europe....

Nice gameroom,Etienne!

Wow nice find!
I can see a dribbling there 

About portraits: i found one some years ago but we couldn t find a good price for both. After some months the owner destroyed it... 

This game is quite rare. Has a camera inside and if you reach the top score it takes a picture of you.
It is rare because of a design problem... the game is not fluent and sometime freezes.
After the last visit in germany i think to be the most vomplete olympia collector in the world hehe. Actually i ddunno if it is a shame or i have to be proude of it 
Anyhow i m interested in that portraits and please tell me if i can help you in some way.

Apple Time? Neeed !!!

My very first cabinet was a generic Apple Time. I got it in ...1991, equipped with a galaga board    



Great memories around that cabinet as you can see 

Do you have more pictures of it?

[synonym9]

Sir, I have to check on it.

I have to let the video run and to make some more screenshots.

Since I have the deepest respect for your crazy Nuno-Lair´s (although I am not with you carpetwise  ) I will figure out how to save the Apple Time´s for you.

There are at least 2 of and they seem to be in very good conditions. I think to remember that you are from Belgum.....or France?

[synonym9]

I double checked it and unfortunately I cannot support more Apple Time pictures at the moment.

I will have more pictures in the next 2 weeks, if you want the Apple Times drop me a line via PM.

[synonym9]

Tomorrow I have another meeting with the vendor, I going to commit prices and this or next weekend I will start to clear the venues....

[DarthNuno]

To be honest I would be interested to get back THE cabinet I owned long time ago : I've asked to the person I've sold that Apple Time loooooooong timmmmeeeeee ago if he can ask to the person he sold that cabinet loooooonnnng timmmme ago where that particular cabinet is now... but still no answer so far.  But I keep the faith 

[synonym9]

Just tell me soon if you want to have one of the Apples here......
