Bumpers area (click to enlarge)
This is probably the most amusing part of this pinball. The three bumpers are surrounded by a half-circle of ten stand-up targets. The only way to hit the targets (and advance the center special) is to let the bumpers do the work for you!

Displays (click to enlarge)
Zaccaria had some original ideas for score displays. In their machines, there was a sixth display that, according to the game adjustments, was used to show the highest score to date, or a random score to beat. Plastic shields were used to give different colors to the displays: amber for the players score, red for the credits, and blue for the high-score. This early machine used 6 digits display, but could show a score over 1 million points with a flashing "1" in the rightmost digit. Later, Zaccaria adopted 7 and 8 (!) digits displays.

Speaker (click to enlarge)
Another Zaccaria oddity: the speaker is mounted on the backbox panel! The sound board uses the SN76477 sound generator IC, that means lots of "bleeps" and "buzz" - but at least they sound different from Bally and Williams effects of the same period.
