Nautilus




A clone, almost identical, of Sea Wolf (Bally/Midway). The board is mostly composed of discrete components. It does not have the manufacturer's indication; on the only unit found there is the sticker of a Model Racing's saler and repairer, but it does not appear to be a product of this company.

Many more photos are on this tilt.it page

Clown

Bootleg of Exidy's Circus (not Midway's Clowns). It's similar to the Zaccaria licensed version.

Spinner

No concrete evidence about the existence of the manufacturer.

Apocaljpse Now


Switching J and Y is a typical error of italians who do not speak English.

Gran Premio F. 1


This bootleg features speech synthesis in italian language.

Yhere's a bootleg in spanish language, by BCN International, with the same name.

Penta

A note from Stiletto (MAMEteam).
"Is not attributed to Zaccaria in MAME, only attributed to "bootleg".
Using ProgettoEMMA, shows that History.dat attributes it to Zaccaria. I submitted a challenge to fix it."
