Zaccaria Pinball

Zaccaria Pinball recreates tables from the Italian manufacturer Zaccaria, founded by brothers Marino, Franco and Natale. From 1974 to 1987, the company made over 35 machines and became one of the world’s three largest pinball manufacturers and Europe’s leading maker. The game includes faithful recreations of more than 35 Zaccaria tables, with modern lighting, shadows and graphical enhancements.

You play pinball tables with their original rules, sounds and voiceovers, using a choice of physics modes and customizable settings. The game also includes other table collections, story and tournament modes, online and local multiplayer, progression systems, leaderboards and six arcade video games.

Tables and collections

The game offers over 175 tables, with more than half available for unlimited trial play subject to score limits. Its collections include:

• Zaccaria tables: recreations of classic machines, available separately as DLC.
• EM+ tables: imagined hybrids between Electro-Mechanical and Solid State designs, combining features of both eras; available separately as DLC.
• Retro tables: simplified designs with a 1950s aesthetic. These can be unlocked by purchasing a Solid-State or Electro-Mechanical table with the same name, or the 40 Retro Tables DLC.
• Remake tables: classic Zaccaria designs reworked with a 90s style; available separately as DLC.
• Deluxe tables: modern designs with dynamic mechanics, updated visuals and challenges; available separately as DLC.
• Award tables: minimalist tables unlocked through achievements or the Achievement Table Pack DLC.
• Licensed partner tables: 16 tables in categories based on POSTAL and Primal Carnage.

The Time Machine table is available to play, and its Retro version can be unlocked by joining the Zaccaria Pinball Community Page. Story Mode takes you through 42 tables with individual challenges. Zombie Invasion is a separate mode in which you face waves of zombies on a custom table, using thunder strikes, rockets and other attacks; it requires the Zombie Invasion Mode DLC.

Modes and multiplayer

Zaccaria Pinball has eight game modes with different challenges. In local Classic mode, up to four players can take turns, or you can play against bots. Online multiplayer lets you challenge friends. Official tournaments run daily, weekly and monthly, alongside nine daily custom tournaments with configurable settings, replays and match history.

The game has global leaderboards for every game, game mode and physics mode. Its quest system offers more than 200 quests per month, with daily, weekly and monthly challenges and a leaderboard; many quests are specific to DLC. Completing Story Mode can earn at least 45 achievements.

Progression and customization

You gain experience and advance through more than 100 profile levels to unlock rewards and customization items. The in-game Market adds seven items every two weeks. Its coin-based rewards are earned by taking part in tournaments, and the Market has no microtransactions.

Customization covers more than 80 options across six categories: Room, Atmosphere, Ball & Table, Physics, Camera and Profile. You can adjust lighting, reflections, glow, particles, motion blur and the environment, as well as flipper strength, ball elasticity, bumper force and other physics settings. Four customizable camera slots let you set your view. Many items can be earned through profile levels, purchased table or table-pack DLC, or the Market; full access to customization options requires the Bronze Pack DLC, which also adds items. Eight gameplay-specific categories provide further controls for graphics, display and other gameplay settings.

Physics modes include Arcade, Simulation and up to four customizable presets. Some options require the Bronze Pack DLC. You can also choose from three standard camera presets and one additional standard preset, or use the four custom camera angles. Cabinet Mode displays the playfield across the full screen and lets you configure Backglass and DMD monitors. VR is supported with the VR DLC.
