U spent $1000 just to completely talk me out of buying it...for that i say thanks....money saved!! 👊

Happy I passed on my AFM order, and I will wait till quality/issues get worked out

All fair points, I received mine the other day. This is the first gaming machine the entire family is playing together since the early days of the wii. So for a family fun factor score, its a 10.

That’s pretty fair review. I have always trusted the info you provide.

Had ours 2 weeks and we love it very sturdy but most importantly so much family fun the battle for top score bragging rights has already began. 4.5 stars

Got mine 2 weeks ago.love it no problems,no lag on flippers.soild machine

I would love to see gameplay from each table. Another video please!!!

Appreciate the honest review 👌

Good review. Definitely interested in the haptic feedback mod. Will tune in for that!

Nice technical breakdown of even the chip set! I don't know much about optimizing hard ware but sounds like your impression is that many of the drawbacks for the screen or maybe the accelerometer could be have been fixed in the software. Hope A1up considers updating these in their next gen pins or possibly a future patch

Great review. Buttons and solenoid failing that fast makes it such an easy pass. Thank you for saving me money.

The art looks amazing on this!!

Got my machine and love it. Sure, it is not perfect but lots of fun and the art work looks great.

Restalgia, Wow! I really like a critical review when there are critical points to be made, and you nailed it! One of the best reviews of an Arcade1up product and you pull no punches. I think you summed it up nicely when you called it "good enough." That's how I've felt about most of my Arcade1up products, "just good enough." I'd love their products to be great, I think we all would, and I only own one of their products that I think they got completely right, and that was their Star Wars Arcade machine. Out of the 7 Arcade1up products I own, it was the only one I had a flawless experience with, including no "scratch n' dent" aesthetics out of the box. They had to nail that one for me, because it's my all-time favorite Arcade game. If they screwed that one up, we wouldn't be having this conversation now, as I would've given up on them. Thank you for providing real-talk on Arcade1up pinball. Have a great one! vgv

Washed out, unoptimized, low resolution screen will have me looking elsewhere. Thanks for the honest review!

Great review man... that 1000 Canadian is RIDICULOUS!!!

I have been having loads of fun on mine, which arrived here at my home in Tasmania a few days ago. Here in Australia, they cost $1399 AUD ($1090 USD).

Thanks for video and review. Look forward to some of your tweaks that can improve the experience.

Thanks for the review 👍🏻 I subscribed, and looking forward to future updates. I get my SW pinball next week😉

Looks super dope.

24 inch screen is CRIMINALLY small. The "ball" looks like a marble at best. Not to mention the graphics ... jagged edges all over for 1000 bux? What a massive waste of money.

We here!

Great review.💥It would be nice if down the road they provide a replacement PCB upgrade that outputs 1080P and maybe has inputs for nudge buttons on the board 👍

I’m lost here , plunger problems , screen picture issues , nudge basically doesn’t work , hi scores aren’t saving , no volume control bar , no WiFi , in the name of Christ how is this a good machine. When people review 1ups , why don’t we just review how they look and stop there. Nobody cares about how they play anyhow.

Fair review ,good job proud of you

Restaliga congrats on the great review!

Thanks for the review. Sorry you've had such rough luck with Arcade1up in the past. I own 3 of their cabs and have had zero issues with them aside from the feel of the buttons, but even that I hardly notice once I start playing. Still planning on picking this up for $550 from Walmart since I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and I love Zen's pinball games, though $1,000 would definitely be a deal breaker!

I love my Marvel machine, but that metal lockbar has some sharp edges on my machine so if I really want to nudge it is a choice between score and wound lol.

Great review. Very interested in seeing the solenoid mod as well as a gameplay video. Looking forward to the review of AFM. 👍🏽

Thanks for sharing this review. I really wanted to get these tables, but I think I'm going to have to pass, unless I can find a way to fit a page magnifier in front of the tiny DMD, as the 1/4 scale displays are just not acceptable, in a 3/4 scale cabinet. They just look wrong, and wonky, to say nothing for being too small for me to see that DMD. I'm forced to spend a little more, building my own machines, from Recroom Masters, and Gameroom Solutions. I would like to see gameplay video, at some point.

They are now $850 everywhere, on Every site in the US. Do you think it is worth this price?

The nudge is a huge disappointment and the lack of feel in the accelerometers is also. I was excited about these tables as I thought Zen's involvement was going to bring real pinball feel and optimization. Not so much. Still fun but not what I expected.

Incredible review even almost a year later! Is there a setting to turn off the animations in order to make it a bit more like a real pinball cab? Thank you!

Question: Why is there a vertical black bar on the right side of the DMD screen? There is an horizontal one in the middle but that vertical right one is strange. Anyone have an answer?

It's great to get more opinions on this. Good to hear the screen size is acceptable. ...yeah I'll take another gameplay video, **Do me a favor. Focus on the nudge while the ball is in motion. I have seen users use effectively in game ... I do not think the "cradle and slam' is a good indicator but I'll let you decide.

Nice video 😊

It's a shame they never went any further with the tech and used a 3D effect similar to the 3DS to give the illusion the board is really there.

A beauty

$1000.00? That's a lot of money. Great review man..

Thanks.

Worth saving a little more and getting an Xtreme Gaming cabinets out of AUS.

Curious if you tried messing around with the position of the accelerometer. Maybe closer to the front or up on pegs. On the ALP machine it looks like they placed theirs horizontally on one of the side panels. Don't know if changing the orientation would mess it up though since it's calibrated being flat.

Do you feel the screen is salvageable? I was going to mod mine with a PC and use one of the LVDS-to-HDMI converter boards which actually includes picture quality controls such as brightness and contrast. Also added bonus is the DMD is actually full screen HDMI, although for some reason A1U decided not to give you the option to use the whole size. Still, good for modders!

One up customer service non existence star wars broke attack from mars delivery on my porch yesterday I refused delivery!

Oh yeah, quality control on these is terrible. The DMD looks awfully scaled, and the nudge/tilt doesn't work AT ALL on my machine. We have tipped it and bashed it as hard as we can without breaking it and it still won't move the ball.

Found this video looking for a detailed teardown as I need to replace the solinoid, but despite this video claiming it's a teardown, It's just glancing shots at the build, I need to know what specific screws need to be removed to dismantle the game. Solinoid dead after 4 hours of play, this is such a piece of garbage. If anyone has a detailed step by step teardown please let me know, arcade1up has been no help.

❤️it

Good job Restalgia! It does look incredible doesn't it lol

$1000 CAD; WOW! I'll loan you a twonie on it.

No backglass??? 720p? Disservice to the community

Teen Wolf,maybe hair got in there???

A thousand bucks Canadian has never converted to $599.00 US, so I can't understand why you're basing the review on that price point. None of the 1Up's are worth anything over $550 Canadian. They've artificially jacked their prices because of Covid and it's eff'ing shameful, especially given the washed out screen and jagged line quality on this machine. Sadly, I doubt they'll drop their pricing once lumber does go back to norma... not that they use lumber or anything.

So Star Wars or Marvel? why?

This is a turd wrapped in a beautiful shell. For the money, not worth it.

Thank you for saving me $549.99 USD + Tax that looks like complete garbage I could never play in that resolution and them jaggies OMG makes me want to puke.

This is the best one . People who get attack of Mars will get bored of it fast

More overpriced ArcadeFup junk 👎
