AtGames Legends Pinball Machine Review!

[@cooltoy]

What feature do you think is the best on the Legends Pinball machine? Let me know in the comments below!

[@scottj.7639]

Yes! lol

[@vegasgold1145]

The artwork looks cool

[@eldenringer6466]

Maybe do a VS between this and the 1up one ? Great review (subscribed!)

[@jayjackson9530]

@cooltoy im planning on getting 1 VR pinball atm...because or...the same issue u are having..ROOM...i have 15 arcade1up machines and dead in the middle of my custom mario kart machine...and have only a few open slots left....so...one VR pinball atm will do...i need u to help me out..WHICH ONE.....at games or arcade1up VR pinball...? that much larger playing field has me leaning towards at games...but if their is more bells and whistles etc on arcade1up ones id go that way...but YOU have your hands on both...i need a direction here.

I never ever thought Id want something that has "At Games" stamped on it but I REALLY want one of these

[@Lonchanney1]

Just 3 words lad. Simply the best! You set the standards for these product introduction videos. Well done...

[@cooltoy]

thank you so much!

[@JMAX79]

Best review yet! Can’t believe they didn’t send you one for review. Yours is better than the others I’ve seen that were sent for free.

[@cooltoy]

thank you very much Jason!

[@Bo_Knows_Tecmo]

One awesome feature of this is being able to play the vertical shmups in vertical(Tate) mode. I can only imagine gunbird or strikers games on this.

[@Norcopunk]

This vs the 1up? I think that will be the most important question for potential buyers. We know the obvious stuff like size/tables/price but how is the actual gameplay experience? Which one feels more real/immersive?

[@eighties8]

Thanks for the review CT. In addition to the issues you raised, there are a few cosmetic and easily fixed. (1) NEED chrome bezel, lockdown bar and legs! Why black/gray? (2) Need a standard square CHROME plunger trim, why gold? (3) Can we lose the front apron and move the playfield closer to lockdown bar? Other than those, looks like a great future proof cab!

[@lylek8933]

This is the 3rd video I watched on this pinball machine. Still find it hard to believe it only costs $600. Can't wait until Sam's start selling this one. Kudos to AtGames for creating such a machine. :)

[@andyz2306]

I just saw and played it in Sam's this week, the price is $699.

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

wow, as someone who built a virtual pinball machine At Games really outdid themselves here. I would highly recommend it to anyone from what I'm seeing here. I don't like the side art but that could be updated with the modding community. I hope it gets more abilities to add more tables as well easily :)

[@Rabinki]

WOW! What a clear, professional ,well architected, review! U're a KING, thanks a lot.

[@cooltoy]

Happy I could help 👍

[@adamkalb1412]

All about the options in this beast of a VPIN . Thanks King CoolToy for another impressive review ❤️🏁🎈

[@cooltoy]

Thank you Adam!

[@davysmith8569]

thankyou Doug! absolute beautiful in 4k and at 60fps the most important! Thankyou as always for your hard work. Once we can figure out to get that black glass working with VPX etc, we are gold!

[@cooltoy]

agreed! I can't wait until that becomes a fully functional option on this machine.

[@RGT85]

So you can run other tables? I'd love to have T2 Jurassic Park and Addams Family. I noticed that Jurassic Park table 👀

[@cooltoy]

Yea you can connect a PC through the HDMI and USB ports and run just about anything you can imagine. Some things will have back glass support and some things won't it's all a case by case basis. I was playing Addams Family just last night on the machine.

[@daviddarkstonedtv9775]

I'll wait til a coinopsx style USB like in the arcade machine comes out with the various tables like the arcade games USB for the machine. I assume it's gonna be made right?

[@loganq]

I'd like to see Star Trek TNG, please.

[@vilhelmstein2091]

Do these other games support all the hardware included in the table like the exciters

[@jessepotter365]

@@vilhelmstein2091 considering the games are made for pc, I would guess no. They will be visual only.

[@gopooalreadyplease5842]

It sometimes looks “floaty” on the ball physics and sometimes not. Is this something you noticed on certain tables? It just feels like the ball rolls slower than it should down towards the flippers. I also would like to see support later on with a third screen under the “backglass” for a DMD screen. That way you can play more modern titles. Looks very promising though!

[@judsonwanderer]

I just got into pinball a bit more with pinball fx. Seeing how this can be used to play those tables now... this is tempting

[@skywalkr2]

I didn't think i would like the Gottlieb tables... until I started playing them... and now I love them.

[@cooltoy]

I think that will be the thoughts of several people once they get to play them on this type of set up

[@waynerice4918]

You probably could get the legs chrome or black powder coated. I think black powder coated would be the best because the top brackets are black too.

[@rushmore3927]

Nice review! Still seems like if the legs are not mounted in steel plates on the corners to displace the movement when nudging the table, the particleboard will weaken where the screws are.

[@Lithonion1]

I will be putting mylar on the flipper button area. I hope the nudge buttons don't get hit easily by accident.

[@dashalpha]

interesting about the bolt issue you had, my ALU 1.0 last year had a similar issue with one of the screws being wrong. I contacted them and sent a picture showing the wrong screws I had received and they mailed the correct part fairly quickly. Would have been nice if they were standard though so you could just go down to the nearest hardware store instead. At least the customer service was good and responsive though.

[@neojeets]

DK with a DualSense controller on a virtual pinball machine. I can dig it.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@SavedByZero]

Excellent review... I'll echo the interest in a head-to-head comparison. The execution and extensibility of the AtGames unit make it a standout but the table licensing is a definite drawback. It may also be the video capture vs. first hand experience but the ball itself seems floaty and some of the table graphics appear to have a fair bit of aliasing - easy enough to address if they actually exist.

[@jeroendenhertog4975]

This virtual pinball cost 1100,- euro in Europe, when available anyway.

[@aaronroberts6787]

I keep watching the you tube video reviews on this product and all have been rather high so far. I really hope a store near me gets a demo model to try out. My interest is definitely peaked.

[@cooltoy]

I hope customers can demo these machines in stores as well, it's definitely a hard thing to explain the feel in certain instances, so some times it's best just to try it out yourself.

[@TT-jl1qs]

Please make your next video of you playing Pinball FX3 on this machine. That's the number 1 thing I want to be able to do with this and I would love to see it!

[@dylanstyles8056]

You it nailed it again Doug. Love your reviews, you leave nothing out and you deep dive into all the details. Kudos man.

[@cooltoy]

I try my best, thank you!

much appreciated John!

Would you rather play an A1Up table or this one? Cant decide which to buy

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Great review and the screens look great from the video footage. Im definitely curious how the artwork will hold up with nothing protecting it from your hands but hopefully that is a non issue. I love that jacket dude. I tried multiple times trying to track it down. I should have purchased it the moment you posted the video for it

[@realmchat6665]

A good, thorough and well presented review - ty.

[@cooltoy]

thank you for the feedback!

[@thetechbuzz]

Good review, I've also found some anomalies. Just awaiting my back glass. But I will say, they need to get cloud pinball working with the backglass. Otherwise, it's like me using the table how I am.

[@cooltoy]

Back glass support will be a really nice improvement for those games once it gets rolled out.

[@IgnusFast]

Great video - and the closing music was awesome! Sorry if I've missed that on other videos - I try to watch all the way to the end, I swear. :)

[@cooltoy]

No worries, thanks for watching!

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Brother that Link to the Past shirt is everything. This table looks amazing and I have patiently been waiting for your review and you knocked it out of the park once yet again. I was worried about the performance of the exciters but again its something that can be fixed with firmware so not a huge deal. Everything looks great from watching your stream and review so hopefully we will have access to these in April through the Brick in Canada and i can get my hands on one finally. Cant wait to see the comparison video. I did have a question, is it possible to add games like A Nightmare on Elm Street to the table through a pc and if so could you somehow get the backglass to work too?

[@cooltoy]

Link to the past was the only reason I ever wanted a Super Nintendo growing up. Nightmare on Elm Street will be easy enough to add while connected to a PC, the back glass support would be something AtGames would need to troubleshoot and figure out how to support, but I honestly don't think that would be too difficult for them to achieve, so I would expect the answer to be Yes at some future point.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

@@cooltoy That sounds very very promising! Thanks cooltoy!

[@TiltingT]

The scoring and intials issues are due to the different era of games.. Games like Centrigrade 37 being electromechanical games in real life do not offer an option for initials, so the initials on these games would be on the playfield screen.. Where games like Rescue 911 are DMD (DotMatrix Display) games and offer the option in the real life.. Blackhole being a solid state game have the scoring displays just like that in real life and are smaller displays than DMD or EM games.. so it basically comes doen to the era of the game on those options and are the exact same way on The Pinball Arcade game that these tables were taken from

[@KING_KONK]

Bro your gunna have to move into a warehouse soon with all these reviews. I love it. Thanks for always showing us the latest and greatest

[@cooltoy]

Yeah space is getting pretty tight in my house now, but awesome things that I can't say no to just keep coming out and making me buy them lol

Thanks CT! Great review...super excited to see the possibility of added controls to play other games! Looks like this machine can do it all! Hopefully we'll see it in retail soon!

[@cooltoy]

Fingers crossed!

[@Rob.Coleman]

Nice review 👍. I like the fact you can save settings individually to each table and also that some of the tables look quite old-school. The modern tables are great but can sometimes be unnecessarily complex and a bit gimmicky so it's nice to see the older tables recreated as well 👍👍.

[@cooltoy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Marina-bd4le]

I want to play all my Pinball Arcade tables on this and start getting into the VP9 ones too. Basically you have to build a higher end PC to connect to ? I’d hate to have to keep a keyboard and mouse connected for that, if there’s a way to streamline it would be great, unless I should just go a different route.

[@ThomasGrillo]

It really looks great in that corner!

[@evilgeniusentertainment]

Now if only if this machine was actually available to buy. Sadly, it doesn't look like that will happen any time before summer, perhaps later. Head-to-head, the atgames wins (assuming it works) - it's larger, has more games, has wifi, and is built to be up-gradable. But it's also $250 more expensive if you count shipping ($300 more than the ATTACK FROM MARS machine). It's somewhat like comparing the toyshock HAUNTED HOUSE game to the STAR WARS/MARVEL game - that $250 price difference means a lot. Love your show BTW.....

[@briansloane5405]

I like how the graphics on this pinball machine make the tables look realistic. I understand this screen is 1080p 60f, but I am curious if this is comparable to A1ups pinball graphics? The Atgames tables look very realistic where I felt A1ups tables look a little more cartoony maybe? How would you compare the games graphic detail between both pinball machines? Does the At Games have more 3D depth, cleaner graphics? Are both tables similar in graphics. I am more drawn to purchasing the AFM A1up table and hope the graphics look as realistic as this At games table looks. Thanks!

[@shreddyvedder]

Excellent Review!! I may have to find some room to add this. Thanks CoolToy!!

[@alexbittencourt4210]

Great Review as always. The way I read is that AtGames did a good homework in terms of this machine to maximize deliver a product under the 600 bucks cap. Also based on your comments I will follow the development with the community and future updates before purchase the machine but seems very promising.

[@chriseverydailyshow]

Just saw your video. Thanks for keeping it specific and detailed. Do you know if we can change out the 1080 screen with a 4k screen? Plug and play? Thanks

Not if you are wanting to keep the stock pcb functional

[@chriseverydailyshow]

@@cooltoy what do you think about upgrading the 1080 screen with a 4k screen and the board, I guess? Sounds like the 1080 is really good as is and not worth the hassle/cost?

[@justincataldo1851]

How does this feel compared to the 1up pinball, I have the marvel pin and honestly love it have no complaints other than the screen being 720p, looking at this it looks overall better but I don’t like how it doesn’t have the 3rd screen for the score it self. Also size is a bit bigger than 1 up

[@cooltoy]

I enjoy both my Arcade1Up and AtGames machines, can't go wrong with either in my opinion at this price point. I refrain for comparing the two machines or holding one above the other, as it's not an apples to apples comparison between the two units.

[@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount]

CoolToy, It's great to hear this machine is as amazing as AtGames's other Arcade offerings. That's what makes it so disheartening that they haven't figured out how to mass produce enough of their products to meet demand yet. And with the pandemic, I can't see it coming out soon for general purchase. I could be wrong though and hopefully that's the case. I did try for a pre-order, and did get a wave 3 reservation, so hopefully at some point, fingers crossed :) Thanks as always for another great review! vgv

Thanks for the review and explanation of the machine . Best Review I have seen. machine looks very nice. iam disappointed that it doesn't have a 3rd screen for the DMD. they should have put it where the AtGames logo is in between of the speakers. I have my own custom built virtual machine. and will tell you those pinball tables are mediocre compared to playing those tables through Visual pinball. they are well designed and have better Physics and game play to the real machine. I would like to know if the game play is the same everytime? one advantage the AtGames machine has that i like is the software is configured and ready to play. Visual pinball can be a challenge setting up the software and updating the software and configuring can be frustrating . I would like to get the machine. but might wait it out if AtGames decides to put out a updated machine with more improvements. they should have differnt price points on machines. basic model, pro model etc.. I would pay $1,000 or more with extra features. Atgames should have talked to cab builders and the Visual Pinball community for their input and built a Kick A$$ machine
