[@slappymcphee]

I would have to say after seeing your video on it I really want one, but that price is a bit prohibitive especially when it comes to the spouse buy in to purchase. Great review and much appreciated!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@slappymcphee thank you, try flowers and a massage you'll get your pinball

[@keithwick6170]

Loving mine so far. I’ve got a bigger virtual pin that I built myself in the barcade. This one is perfect for its size (great for the little kids) and “portability”- I bring it up to the office a lot. Now I just need some legs for it!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Pinned a link for compatible legs

[@GenghisKhanner]

Definitely interested in this! I picked up the Arcade1Up AfM table because of just how good it looks as a decoration and it has 2 of my all time favourite tables. I wasn’t a fan of the full sized AG design but the ability to have this little guy to play all other VPin sounds like a perfect little treat. Especially as a bar top piece.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Nice man!

[@Hiylow]

Hi. Discovered the problem with the micro D pad in a forum "As far as the D pad, I did have that issue. I took it apart and realize the white  membrane on the inside was upside down. I flipped it over and put it back together and it works great now".

[@JasonTierney43]

So glad that they put the hook ups in the rear of the machine and not the bezel. Great design choice for the Mini ALP.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Agreed 👍

[@carlo1132]

The Micro ALP is a really sweet device, well made, great job Atgames. Now for next year blow us away with an ALP Max, with 43" Playfield, a DMD and 24" Back glass. Considering people can pick up ALP sometimes for less than 400 bucks, to me is amazing, even at a slight discount the ALP is my favorite arcade unit. If I didn't have the ALP I would def consider the ALP Micro, great view Pdubs.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Due to rising costs of parts I doubt we would see that from AtGames but that would be nice if it did happen

[@Jay-tr7ue]

I've definitely been enjoying mine! I got mine from Sams yesterday for $299! Just looking at mods now as well as which tables to add.

[@davidh4548]

Hey Hey Pdubs!! Another banger of a product review! This videos are great! For my part, being a bit of an AtGames fan, the one thing I really admire is that when they release products, they're really well made. I'd rather a company build 1 or 2 new quality products than 100 different ones with all sorts of issues. For what this is, the fit and finish appears awesome and unless I missed something, the only negative you had for it was the UI...which is software and can probably be updated by AtGames at anytime. So to me, this product is a home run for the holiday season!! Best Regards!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Thanks David! Yes overall positive review from me here on this one minus the price tag wish it retailed a bit less and they change out that UI

[@pkhsiung304]

Thank you David!

[@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount]

PDubs, I really do think this is a great looking machine, and hearing that it performs like a champ, is fantastic. I don't know if AtGames yet truly realizes the lightning in a bottle potential they have here. They brought out a great little machine, but what really excites me, is the possibility of a "Gen 2" version. I think the word you used, which I think sums up this product best, is "almost." I think AtGames is getting a lot of great feedback from the community, and if they take some of the best of it to action, I think they can blow away any competition in this space. I think the three following areas could put the Legends Micro Pinball over the top: They need a plunger. AtGames makes the best in the biz, in my opinion, and this little guy needs that love. The next thing, VIBS technology, as standard, with no additional parts, or install required. AtGames next iteration needs to have true HDMI ports for their monitors and for plug-in devices like PC's. If they can get this down to a true "out of the box" plug n' play solution, I think even the custom VPin companies out there would start to quake. AtGames is sitting on a potential expansion gold mine. They just need to make it more accessible to more types of people, so those with little to no knowledge of modding can easily get in. And finally, I think they could fit in a titch bigger monitor for the backglass. 10, maybe 12 inches, without increasing the size of the machine, it would make a big difference. I hope AtGames sells a lot of these first models. If all the extras I mentioned make it to a next gen model, I think their current full price point makes sense. But, I would even consider a price increase if they could make it all work seamlessly. And yes, my friend Dubs, a small controller module to add some CoinOpsX action would be some delicious icing on the cake :) vgv

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Thanks Vegas! AtGames should get HDMI monitors or just include the VIBs pre-installed in future products I agree 💯. People will pay more for plug and play

[@pkhsiung304]

Thank you Vegas!

[@JustinEmlay]

The amount of detail down to making it look like bulbs are behind glass...insane!

[@CowboyBandit]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft Thanks, I was just over looking it :) So many great tables on this thing, it's easy to miss one!

[@Anthony-qt8wv]

I built a table with a 32 inch 2K monitor because the ATGames screen was too small. I am older and I needed a larger screen. I am very happy with it!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Nice, enjoy!

[@1teamski]

The ball physics reminds me of Pinball Arcade, where the balls float quite a bit.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Nope, Magic Pixel Physics do not look like that at all. If you feel something looked funny on the video it would be due to a DSLR camera pointed at a screen and video editing software for KZbin that renders the video at 30 frames per second. This is not a capture card and rendering at 60 frames. Magic Pixel Physics look nothing like pinball arcade Physics. Far superior.

[@ravenspe]

Great review 👍 This is much better than I expected from a micro. I'm still holding out for something larger though. Maybe next year.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

It's honestly better than I thought it would be

[@keithwick6170]

I like the bubble bobble side of mine. I’d like to make the other side match it.

[@erbwars]

I have the alp so I was planning on skipping this. Still seems like a great option for people without the space. Now you said connecting a steam deck to it? You should make a video on that for the alp then again on the mini. Would love to see how to do that.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Wagners Tech Talk shows this. It will be the same steps on the ALP Micro as he showed on the ALP

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Yes, which is why i skipped A1up for the ALP which is why these are not my cup O tea, but it's cool there is a cheaper option.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@carlo1132]

Any chance you or MB or both are doing reviews of the game packs available for the Atgames Legends family? I picked up the Activision pack, the Data East Packs I am not sure but would be good to know more about them before the Black Friday event sale is over. I rather like the Activision pack for Demon Attack, Kaboom and Pitfall to name a few. I grew up with the 2600 so maybe its just for the memories.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I have the packs. I'm not going to do a review of them.

[@MrLivewire1970]

How are you liking the mini? I'm thinking of getting one. I have an ALP but I hurt my back and I can only stand at the pinball for so long. I think I could set this on the floor or on a small table in front of me and get in more pinball.

[@TheCoolDave]

New to these. Do you get feedback when the ball hits something? One of the big impacts of playing a pinball machine is the vibration it makes when it hits something, and I was wondering if this does this and how accurate does it feel?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Yes there's haptic feedback. Feels fine

No. All Pinball Pack and Pricing options www.atgames.us/

[@skywalkr2]

Perfect for specific use cases (bartops), but honestly the full size is just such a great value that is worth the increased cost.

[@klacustoms]

Thanks for sharing this video. This artwork does look cooler on the sides compared to it's bigger brother. I would love to get the bigger version of this or even the smaller version for that matter, but the one thing that is holding me back for purchasing is the menu screen in navigating. I've watched videos on KZbin and it looks too confusing and too easy to screw up. So I'll wait till they make that better. Also, if you're having a hard time reading alphanumeric displays or you want the backglass have a larger, magnified view, may I suggest putting a Fresnel lens on the backglass. You can get magnify readers from Amazon cheaply, that'll fit on there pretty easily. It works out great. I have one on my Gottlieb Raven pinball machine. From that era, from that company, Gottlieb/Premier ended up putting in small alphanumeric displays from the mid to late 80s to cut costs. So hard to read. Now it's so easy to read. Here's the link of my custom Raven pinball machine I modified. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn29nYpum5qrptU

Thank you

[@MichaelSmith-fd9ec]

Glad you’re feeling better! I was surprised you were so high on this tyke, but trust your review since you actually paid for it! Any whispers of a bigger ALP? Atgames came out of the shoot hot with a bigger regular arcade and definitely a better pinball, but I want the next level. New pinball tables didn’t feel next level and other than Vibbs board (mine still boxed because I don’t have a PC. I love plugging a switch via HDMI but can’t use the buttons. Are Dr. Seuss games free to owners or just half price? Have you heard about sneak peaks. Hope the family is better. You sounded good maybe you recorded prior to getting sick. Thanks for a legit review!

[@davidturner9860]

Don't hold your breath for an arcade panel upgrade. I opened up my Micro Pinball to see if that might be an option, and I was disappointed. Unlike its big brother, the D-pad in the Micro is not in a separate panel, but integrated into the frame that holds the playfield monitor. Also, there's no extra wiring to accommodate the additional functionality of a joystick and extra buttons. On a side note, it's also disappointing that the "plunger button" just replicates the D-pad down button. Not a whole lot of buttons to use for OTG mode.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I mean at the most you would want to play a vertical game so need a mini joystick and 2-3 action buttons max. Let's see if they come up with something

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

This would be great for start ups in arcade space for people who want to bring pinballs in there arcade but don’t want a real one that is why more pricy

[@ThomasGrillo]

If only they had given this table the same sized backglass they used on the ALP, I'd have gone for it. There's no way I can see an 8" backglass. LOL I can't even see target fonts on a 24" A1up table. Best I could do with this one, is maybe keep the ball in play as long as possible? LOL I think I'd probably just set it up in a corner for company to play with. I do have an extra set of real pinball table legs I could affix to this cute, little Vpin.

My next move is to get the Atgames Legends Ultimate with the quad player control panel and call it a day. The iircade doesn't seem worth it. (Slow to release GOOD games and haven't been able to play online since feature was introduced.) Arcade1up is overpriced with low quality and the list just goes on from there with them..
