Zaccaria

Zaccaria is a brand of arcade game manufacturer founded in Italy in 1974 by artists brothers Egidio and Franco Zaccaria. The company gained popularity for its innovative and high-quality arcade machines, particularly pinball games. Early Zaccaria titles often featured unique artwork and mechanical designs. Over the years, the company produced a wide range of arcade games, including electro-mechanical and solid-state pinball machines, as well as video arcade games. Some of their notable pinball titles include Space Invaders, Detective, and Haunted House.

Zaccaria was a significant player in the European arcade market and also exported its games internationally. The company experienced periods of both success and challenges, reflecting the dynamic nature of the arcade industry. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the rise of home consoles and personal computers, the arcade market saw a decline, impacting Zaccaria as it did many other manufacturers. Despite the changing landscape, the Zaccaria brand has maintained a dedicated following among collectors and enthusiasts of vintage arcade games. The company's legacy is preserved through the enduring appeal of its classic machines.
