    I totally love all virtual Zaccaria tables on Steam. Zaccaria has implemented the best virtual pinball games (imho) allowing the user to customize all aspects of the table. The 'real' Zaccaria pins were way ahead of the time and these virtual remakes and new tables offered are hands down my favorites.

      I have a lot of love for the Zaccaria Pinball game, have it on the Switch myself and it kept me entertained during all the lockdowns. What's your favourite Zaccaria table?

      For real actual tables I've sadly only gotten to play Robot, Farfella & Clown. Sadly in the States, Zaccaria pins are pretty uncommon, only seen at Pinball Conventions ( ...which are always a +5 hr drive away for me ) . These tables were in 'ok' condition..I recall Robot was the best playing one.
      For the virtual tables on Steam ,which there's tables in the following categories: Solid State (27 tbls), EM's (14tbls) Remake (27 tbls),Deluxe (12 tbls), Retro (27 tbs), Award (11tbls) , and a new series called Postal ((8 tables) ) ..I have played all these tbls (a lot!) and its hard to pic a favorite... The SS Locomotion and Clown are great tables and I like all the Retro and Deluxe (Red Show, Cinema) and Remakes. I have the high score in a lot of the retro tables and many others. I really think Zaccaria does the best in virtual pin tables giving the user tons of settings to customize ( and they have been releasing new tables pretty regularly) - Cheers

      @@xpump876 the Zaccaria virtual tables are awesome. Some of the best physics for a virtual game, and as you said, for us in the US its likely the only way we will ever play many of these iconic games, and they are very good games too!

      All Zaccaria tables run in VR using Steam - I have a Quest 3 and it’s fantastic - there’s details not normally seen on the two dimensional tables

    Is that a Spooky next to Farfalla? That one is just as awesome as Farfalla! I wish Zaccaria tables were more common in the states, they just didn't make any inroads here which sucks because their tables are awesome! It seems that Time Machine and Farfalla are the easiest ones to find.

    • @MajesticPinball

      That is indeed a Spooky, good spot! I have a Spooky in my own collection too and hope to film it sometime soon ☺️ I've never seen a Time Machine in person, have always wanted to give it a go as enjoy playing it on the Zaccaria Pinball game. Thanks for watching and stopping by to comment! 😁

      @@MajesticPinball oh man, i'd love to see you do a video on that one. i've never been able to play a real one or even see a real one, but if it plays anything like the Zaccaria virtual pinball, it is a great table. Ive seen 3 time machines, and none of them worked properly. I've heard they are very problematic machines as they age, but they are fun to play even if they aren't totally working right.

      @@MichaelAStanhope Spooky is definitely in the queue to film, I haven't got it set up at the moment but will hopefully have space for it again soon. It's pretty similar to the simulation they did a really good job with those. The left hand ramp for whatever reason is a really hard shot to hit on the real one though, its at a very strange angle. If you're a Zaccaria fan I've also covered Robot and Magic Castle on the channel :)

    I had this one figured out, at a bowling alley in germany, and would play forever, until the jealous yugo owners adjusted the legs to make it impossible to play at all
    "komm spiel mit mir" ist what Farfalla begged of us "play with me"

    How do you get the upper flippers to work ?

    • @MajesticPinball
      @MajesticPinball  9 місяців тому +2

      They only come into action once you go up the ramp to the upper playfield, there's a small microswitch on the top of the ramp. When you drain from the top playfield a ramp angles the ball directly at one of the bumpers (which doubles up as a switch to deactivate the upper flippers)
