Zaccaria’s “Locomotion” is a solid-state table that fully embraces its railroad and travel theme, brought to life through the distinctive art of Lorenzo Rimondini. The layout offers a balanced but challenging kinetic experience, anchored by a standard pair of flippers.
Three pop bumpers keep the action chaotic in the upper playfield, forcing players to react quickly as the ball ricochets toward three standup targets. Navigating “Locomotion” requires a steady rhythm, much like the train it portrays, demanding that players control the momentum rather than just flailing at the ball.
The primary objective and true test of precision lies in the drop target banks. Players must methodically dismantle a four-bank and two separate three-bank drop target assemblies to maximize their score and advance through the ruleset. It is a finely tuned example of European solid-state design that tests fundamental targeting skills in a beautifully themed package.
