Tilt presents IVCZ

Hello. I'm Deb. Welcome to the third version of this site.

Here are collected information on coin-op video games produced in Italy, except for gambling games.

Although more limited than in the U.S., Japan, South Korea or Spain, the production of these video games has continued for years even in Italy, sometimes with good results.

Unfortunately, the Italian companies of the golden age of coin-ops, are nearby all gone or have changed marketing sector. For this reason, it is difficult to find information, as well as spare parts.

This site was created as a source of information. Some are certain, others are just blurred memories.
The work was stopped for a few years, due to various problems, but now I'm starting over.

To comunicate with me, go to the navigation zone to the right and click on "Contacts". Enjoy!
