Wait...The ATGames Legends Pinball Is Actually GOOD?!

AT Games is a company I have been very critical of in the past and for good reason: their products stunk. I'm giving them one more try with the AT Games Legends Pinball, so let's see if they have learned from their mistakes!

[@tjzambonischwartz]

This definitely looks like something I want. In my youth in the eighties and nineties, pinball was the main thing I played in arcades. My whole family loved pinball. When I was 12, my mom took me on a week long vacation to California, and wound up spending most of our day at Knott's Berry Farm in their pinball arcades, which were AMAZING.

[@capemayor1]

Same here, except my hangout was the Jersey shore. 5 balls for a nickel during my era (1960s)!

[@truevudderhutz3482]

whoa almost the same thing happened but we never made it to knotsbury farm since we were in the arcade at the hotel the whole time besides disney land haha

[@hypotheticalangler6936]

I own one and I enjoy playing it. For those that like to tinker… there are many settings you can adjust to personalize your experience. Most importantly, there is the ability to play pinball tables from your PC if you have the right hardware. I have not done that myself but maybe in the future.

[@RyguyAlpha]

They’ve been doing some great things since 2019 with their Legends Ultimate arcade cabinet. Even their Atari plug in plays got significantly better. I went from a curious customer to a fan.

[@xcom6466]

Legends Ultimate needs a redesign, I was hoping we would see one by now, hopefully soon. The shape is hideous, it was even worse when I first saw one in person. You are correct though, very versatile multi-cad.

[@happygilmore5591]

Agreed..I have bought 4 of the legends ultimate..I have them in my Airbnb homes..everyone loves them! They are a good price as well

[@reagandow850]

If RGT says it’s “easy to assemble” then we know it MUST BE!! Lmao. Edit: Btw way dude, you’re slowly going from Mexican with that stash to Amish with that beard as it gets longer and longer!! Talk about identity crisis. ;)

[@shawng746]

Gotta get rid of the stache for the Amish look.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

Omg it's the blue meanie 👍

[@BigSnipp]

Mexamish.

[@jollygreen9377]

You’re darn right it’s good. Well worth the money.

[@Scars1023]

I have the legends arcade cabinet, and it's one of my favorite videogame related purchases ever. It comes with 300 games, added cloud arcade/ pinball games if you have the online service, and i have 1000+ classic arcade games that i put into it (including some Nintendo classics!). And it comes with different control options like 2 pairs of joysticks with 6 buttons, 2 knobs for games like pong or arkanoid, and a track ball! I can actually play Sega Sonic Arcade with it! I can't say enough to praise this.

[@chrisvw352]

I used to love throwing in quarters in those pinball machines. Triple ball makes me just go nuts.

[@Theedgecrusher93]

After modding a 1UP with a raspberry pi I decided to build my own virtual pinball from scratch. I’m running an old Optiplex with a RX 580. I have an old Sony 40” as the main play field. I just added a bass shaker and flipper solenoids. Lots of fun!

[@ztothepunk]

I basically plan on doing that same pc setup with my retired 580 but into this device. Did you have to get an after market psu for that 580?

[@jessethabarber]

Did you run pinball on the pi?

[@funtyes1970]

what most people do about them front exciters nose problem is replacing them with better exciters . probably like $30 fix . or you can try fix it with hot glue . and i seen people mod them ALP and spending $3000 to $4000 on modding . like adding 4 exciters and 6 to 10 solenoids,shaker,bass speaker, building or buying a gaming pc so it can play FX3 and VPXand future pinball and virtual pinball games and buying or building a bigger backglass box with a 24" to 27" back screen i even seen them with 4K main screen . . a hubby for virtual pinball isn't cheap but it can be fun if you have the money for it .. i have a atgames pinball machine i paid $700 plus tax from sam club i probably have like $600-$700 in to it with modding . as right now i have over $1400 into it

[@JK-fv9xk]

You MUST buy a Godzilla pinball from stern pinball. It’s an extraordinary actual pinball machine that was just released. It’s insane good

[@funtyes1970]

lol yeah if you have like $7k to $10k . and I'm sure it is a good pinball machine but spending that kind of money is crazy .

[@Thorn76]

I got mine this past year, and I love it. At first I wanted an A1Up Marvel, but the more I read about it the more doubts I had -- and the reverse was true with the AtGames set-up. Didn't think I could ever be talked into buying a Legends Ultimate, but I like the pinball so much that I went for it this past weekend after discovering an easy way to get a CoinOpsX set up on it. Fingers crossed -- if I like it as much as the pinball I'll be a very happy camper.

[@cwalker28811]

Did you find an easy way to get that running on this??

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Despite the negative reviews from their firmware being crappy previously, mine is awesome. Runs great, looks great, Zaccaria and Taito tables have nice details, shadows look good, lights look good and reflect off of the ball. Impressive considering there is no PC under the hood here, it's basically a mobile device putting in some serious work! The overall build quality is SOLID, it has to be for the nudge feature, plunger is great, buttons feel good, the siderails and lockbar are top notch, legs are top notch just wish they were black like the rails, everything under the hood is wired tight, secured, monitors look good, sound is rich and deep despite no sub... honestly blown away so far and so is the wife. She's in the game room more than ever now. Win/win.

[@MikeS-el6vd]

ATGames Legends Pinball is pretty great! I’ve had mine since last summer and really like it. In comparison, I had a Arcade1Up Attack from Mars table and was very disappointed in it. I ended up giving (yes giving, not selling) it to a buddy for he and his kids to play.

[@MobileDecay]

Their arcade machine is apparently really good too.

[@deadfranko5345]

dude even the legends ultimate arcade is good. 1ups are such a waste of money for the average person.

[@Zantagor]

Ya, I half regret my Golden Axe and Pac Man 1up since I got my ALU

[@deadfranko5345]

Dont get me wrong, I'd love to have a dedicated arcade filled up with stuff. And 1ups fill space well and art is fantastic. But the size, price, amount of games per system, lack of easy modding, etc just makes it a big yikes.

[@JimJesus]

I bought an Intellivision Flashback and loved it. Then I was interested in seeing what else they made and looked at the reviews for them and was shocked that everything else they had made before was a hate crime. I guess I got lucky. Glad they're making better stuff again.

[@Angelina-bi1ld]

"SPACE INVADERS" should have been the BALLY version,..

[@gunthervinson]

Yea boy, I was hesitant as well… but then surprised once I got it home and really figured out what it did.

[@agdejong]

I ownthis machine and I love it. The annoying rumbling/rattling of the plastic top of the control panel is actually a construction error of the machine. But there is an easy fix by using some double sided tape and hot glue to fix the plastic to the wood. And you can also adjust the sound settings. But beside this, I think in this price range this is by far the best virtual pinball table you can buy.

[@bc2725]

Cut out some styrofoam or use packing peanuts and fit them tight around the exciters. That with gluing down the loose plastic around the control panel works great. I had the same problem. I finally just did an easy Dayton exciters mod.

[@ccardwell6112]

I love my legends table - Hook it up to a PC and it unlocks hundreds of tables that crush the stock tables it comes with. Do a few mods and the thing really is amazing.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

How hard is it to mod it to work with Pinball FX 1-3? Does it recognize the backglass and display the score and all that jazz without having knowing much about programming things?

[@joes3461]

Cool! I had no idea that virtual pinball machines existed. Then again I’m not a home arcade person or keep up with what is all available. Very interesting machine and good price too. 👍

[@Lonchanney1]

I have this pinball machine lad. Enjoy it very much. Also my volume is set just two notches from full blast all the time and I don't have any rattling . I did notice in your video you don't have screws on that front panel. My version have screws on that panel. Maybe that's something the blokes at atgames changed on the latest version. I have the wave one version. Any way very interesting to hear that some heavy hitters are coming aboard like the sound of that mate. Always enjoy your content hope you enjoy the AGLP even more as time goes by. I certainly do I'm happy to say.

[@RedonkaBert]

Great review! Would love to have one of these bad boys! @AtGames get Costco, Walmart, or GameStop to carry these. Over a $1000 for shipping to Alaska is criminal!

[@aromad5557]

In my opinion, this is the best digital pinball table on the market, for the price point.

[@16BitPete]

Sam's Club is selling these for 399.99 right now, thanks to this video I will be buying one.

[@JaneDoe-sv1mk]

Why did you not play RESCUE 911?!?!..... I'm screaming ICU as soon as I seen this table option!!

[@JMyoutube1]

I'm surprised it looks as good as it does. I may have to look at getting one.

[@Bobbypinker]

I'm not a huge pinball guy, so I would probably never buy the ALP, but I have the pinball flippers on my ALU, and I love playing pinball on there. It really feels like pinball, and looks beautiful.

[@SC-lc7tm]

you lucky your ALU has pinball flippers, mine didn't because it was original ALU before they added flippers, but I ended up getting Legends Pinball machine so I could at least play pinball.

[@Veany]

It think it would be cool if they had added a 3D slider on the side like the 3DS.

[@dankforest]

I actually really dig this! Thanks for the review. Would have never even looked at this. Ever. Appreciate you trying it out first. I might pick this up. Also thanks for talking about updates and downloads on it

[@ScottParisi]

I'm a connoisseur. I have exactly three. How you knew, I don't know. Good review. I ordered this last week from Sam's Club. It's on sale for under $400 and out for delivery today.

[@UAG]

Cool to hear your opinion on the atgames pinball. Thanks you for sharing and having an open mind.

[@sebas19722]

I own one and I FREAKIN' LOOOOOOOVE IT!!! I modded it and I hooked my computer to it. I find this machine to be a great entry in the world of virtual pinball. I strongly recommend it to whoever wants to try virtual pinball out.

[@bastian1847]

can I ask, why did you hook your computer up to it, and what mods have you done? also, as an owner, can you tell me if it's all classic pinball games, or are there more recent ones too?

[@chrisg8820]

I just sold a couple of my arcade1ups to downsize a bit and I have the legends ultimate coming, I keep hearing great things - plus I ordered a pre installed thumb drive with 7500 games - so now I should be all set with that and my couple arcade 1ups and not be tempted to buy more - but now I am tempted to grab this to, just not sure I have the room because of my pool table and the pinball sticks out a lot .

[@wokeupmens]

Can you hook me up with the info for the 7500 games?

[@saleen235]

I’m getting it for sure!!

[@NoelComiX]

ATgames has made some good stuff. It’s not surprising.

[@b.o.353]

Oh God you use both flippers at the same time? Okay that was just at the beginning. Had me worried. Nice that you got one for free. Enjoy it!

[@reagandow850]

Indeed he had me worried as well. Lol

[@burprobrox9134]

Huh? Why can’t you use both flippers?

[@crazyoldschool6342]

I like this. Might pick this up myself.

[@Xmanant03_Mr03]

That’s a pretty sick pinball table!

[@amano_s]

That's a really wide stash of beard you're having there, RGT85.

[@joeyvlo]

On camera, at long angles, the screen looks mad 2dish but I suppose that can't be helped until they come out with a holographic pinball table. I'll bet when standing above it in person it looks fantastic though.

[@remingtonA123]

when both systems were coming i chose arcade1up star wars but i kinda wish i would have gone with AT games linball

[@Rushlarz2112]

Not sure if any other owners out there just turn off their solenoids or haptics like I have...the sounds are just so bad stock and there are some fixes. I enjoy having the music turned on louder and hear the callouts rather than feeling the "lifelike" feelings of pinball witch are not there out of the box...imo...I have a blast with all the games retro to moden tables...the Taito tables are a blast too...the deluxe tables are insane too lol so much fun for the money.

[@RickLaForce]

Exciters are disconnected. Don't miss them one bit. As you said, cranking the volume easily puts you in the zone.

[@user-nr9pe5ff1e]

100% fixable with sound adjustments and some double sided tape.

[@RickLaForce]

@@user-nr9pe5ff1e That loose piece of plastic is like a giant kazoo.

[@user-nr9pe5ff1e]

Yes it is - you have to tape it down or hot glue it. I also attached bolts to the bottom of the exciters which lowers the frequency and dampens them. After these changes and a sound adjustment, I no longer have any annoying vibration and noise.

[@matthewlister3755]

Oh wow man, it comes with Zaccaria tables (pronounced Zack-are-ee-ah). Italian company. You don't see a lot of those in the US. I was lucky enough to play Farfalla at a pinball convention a few years back (the not so naughty backglass art version. OG table is a bit more racy). Beautiful table. I'd get this for the Zaccaria tables alone. I have the PC version of the Zaccaria tables but that's nowhere near as nice as having a full size pin.

[@ztothepunk]

Old school classic tables with classic mechanics but a lot of fun once you get over the lack of flashy licensed materials.

[@kevgret]

Welcome to the party pal.. where ya been?

[@alienbarbie5889]

I literally just got out my Tomy astro shooter pinball machine from the loft and was wondering if there was anything new on the market, coincidence or what ♥️

[@iononsoleggere9065]

Zaccaria was a great cab/pinball Italian producer. Pronunced Zahckareeah, first and last "a" is pronunced like "ah" esclamation.

[@thisisakodibox2635]

How is Amish85 able to use technology? 😜 Great video my dude

Everything in your Kid room looked good but you definitely need a big screen tv in that room!

[@GlensRetroShow]

RGT, great video! Glad to see your getting a great mini arcade down in the basement. Yes, you definitely the virtual pinball and I agree with you that the AT games currently is part of the best one. Glad you're enjoying it. Great job in the video and congratulations 500,000 subs is not far away

[@Brian-Vader4633]

The ALU is awesome! Play mine pretty much everyday.

[@BigEpinstriping]

It's like an improved version of the Toyshock Haunted House v-pin.

[@AndyDeMeyer]

Ok I am genuinely jealous. Wish I could order this thing in Europe

[@cachanilla1375]

If this has the "ninja turtles pinball games", I get it, but if this has no "ninja turtles pinball", I will not get it

[@moif]

Well said. I enjoy the tables that came with it, and the expansion packs are pretty awesome as well. Some KZbinrs have complained about the tables that came with it, but I don't see a whole lot of issues with any of them. I also mainly use this for the CoinOpsX function and the Arcade Control Panel. That's really what sold me on it originally.

[@francissampson]

With that beard you're looking awfully Amish 👍

[@sinistermoon]

Free would make it worth having. Hey, ATGames, where's my review copy?

I really would like a 40'' high def, high frame rate, high contrast screen. I would gladly pay more for better quality.

[@austinburley888]

I’m a sucker for pinball, quarter hungry sobs. Lol it’ll be nice to have one without having to spend my money. I could’ve bought like 3 of those by all the quarters I spent at the Pizza Hut pinball.

Best affordable pinball you can buy!

I was wearing a beanie in a few of my last videos and nobody even noticed. I noticed you had been wearing one at the same time, so I stopped. 😂

Put something super thin but soft (like a dryer sheet) between the parts that are vibrating. Just a tiny little square of it.

Just an FYI - Adding the Arcade Control Panel does NOT fix the rumble/buzz issue. I installed mine yesterday and if anything, its worse :(

I see an HDMI port near the USB, does this mean you can plug in the mini systems like the Mini NES, SNES, Playstation, or Genesis and use the screen and gaming board?

[@dieard1]

Thanks for an honest review not pretending to know everything about pinball. Was really helpful.

[@ritualdelo]

Once you get the control panel navigating is a breeze

[@sherekhangamedev]

At have a bad reputation for those Sega plug and play, but their Arcade Division is rock solid, Patton Plays made a good vids and reviews about their products, so they redeem themselves a bit. Even some of the later "Sega" systems improved too.

[@ocelott3348]

There is an Iron Maiden pinball machine out that is fantastic. It's rather new and very expensive, but if I were to buy a pinball machine, I would be all in.

[@Deltax5]

That looks sweet. Don't have the room for something like that. Simple pin ball table. The other reviewer said there is a hdmi in for the bottom half and usb so you can put something of your own in there. Looks good as is really.

[@bmhedgehog2]

Imagine playing Sonic Spinball on that.

[@kcant65]

That screen is really good at least looking at it on youtube. Some of those tables look like the real thing. It would be great to play some more modern vertical shoot 'em ups on it besides just classic ones.

[@Ttw1976]

Wait what, what was the problem with the Sega Genesis I had no issues I even like the feature that it had a headphone jack with volume control

[@natevaughn2307]

As a kid , I would have loved this...Who am I kidding, I'm an adult and would still love it.

[@joeydigrado382]

Oh s*** a space invaders table. Damn I'm a huge pinball fan. Nice game room though. Centaur and theatre of magic are the best imo. The old school robotron is a fun and addictive arcade game. Too.

[@richardabkstorm9009]

When you play in what's called OTG Mode, you hook your CPU up to it and it flips and mirrors your screen so you could go into Steam and play Pinball FX3 on it...💯 I noticed you mentioned Star Wars and Marvel fans several times...FX3 has a downloadable pack for Star Wars and Marvel...Each pack has 15+ tables...So it's actually perfect for those fans too!! 💯🙏

[@aeropink13]

Do you need a super powered PC for this?

[@glasssawsslipperstraws7410]

I would definitely pay like, $200 for a smaller version of this, maybe like a desktop version of the same machine.

[@funtyes1970]

$200? never happen . unless it really and really small like a 15" or 20" screen

[@tonedone490]

@@funtyes1970 More like $400 or $500 for a pinball mini, like the Legends Mini.

[@saiyanvegetax]

so one quick suggestion for you RGT, open the panel on the back glass and put some tissue paper and a bit of tape between the marquee, this will reduce the glare on the playfield. :) cheers.

[@fangoriously1]

I love pinball, I didn't know this was a thing. I'm sold

As opposed to the original wide body Space Invaders pinball by Bally from early ‘80’s.

[@bigbabatunde1218]

Affordability with clunky menus is where At Games thrives with their position in the market. Oh, and before I go, those "crappy consoles" weren't anywhere near as bad as some people painstakingly went out of their way to make out.

[@joelanderson6777]

Just pulled the trigger/plunger! It's $400 at Sam's Club right now!

[@BigSnipp]

This looks dope, RG-Tizzle.

[@dabradmp1]

I'm interested in those virtual pinball but I can't really get myself to buy one because the boards still feels too "video game". When virtual pinball will become indistinguishable from a real pinball Ill consider it. Pretty sure with unreal 5 they can achieve that. I mean most of those virtual pinball feels too flat. Some even have the screen completely flat which doesn't make sense. When I won't be able to see difference, i'll buy one

[@SegaTron64]

Great video Shawn! One thing I need to know is does it have rumble for when you hit the flippers or the ball bounces between the bumpers? if it doesn't have some kind of force feedback, that's a no buy for me.

[@tromig9837]

Yes it does. That rumbling sound he was taking about is actually from the exciters. They are not great but they are there.

[@RickLaForce]

You think that now, but you won't be thinking that when you've been at it all night. The exciters are the size of a U.S. quarter and total trash. If you have to have the haptics, the Dayton Audio DAEX25Q-4 are a cheap and easy install, about $30 per pair.

[@literallyunderrated]

I’m old school but to me an arcade isn’t complete without a pinball table. This looks like a really good choice if you have limited space and/or budget. I’m just curious about the licensing of it, like do they have Bally but not Williams, etc.

[@jasonjoyce7835]

It looks like they’re relying on Farsight’s stuff (Pinball Arcade) so no. The rights to Bally/Williams tables went to Zen Studios (Pinball FX) a few years ago.

[@TheSpeedfoever]

For once you like ATgames in 2022 what a miracle!
