On today's review I am looking at the Attack From Mars Bally Williams Arcade1Up Pinball. I have been waiting an extremely long time for this to be released as it featured Zen studios tables based on classic real pinball tables. Get my take on the build and design of the product as well as the performance and enjoyability of the games. Pinball!!!

Welcome to my channel. I have been playing and collecting games since 1987 and I use this channel to share my passion and memories of gaming. I review games that I believe are under appreciated or wrongfully dismissed on Game Genie Reviews. Video Game Nostalgia is a fun series where I take a look at a topic from my gaming past and share games that come to mind from it. I also do Top 10 lists, of course I do...what else is on youtube right? Well I like to think I put my own spin on them because they are based on my life in gaming. Hope you enjoy the channel and always looking forward to hearing from you.

I’ve mastered this table both real and virtual. My wife used to work at a Golf&Stuff back in the 90s and the place had a huge selection of tables for a time (Castle Park Riverside SoCal for those in the know). Attack from Mars and Twilight Zone were two I was constantly on and being that she worked there I’d go on my days off mid week and just play till she got off. If I was going for a real one this or one of the other Bally/Williams classics from that time would be my got to.

Got my Star Wars A1up pin a few days ago, and have absolutely no qualms with it. Especially considering it was only $600 with tax and delivery. My buddy and have had a blast playing back and forth trying to best each other’s score. And got a real good laugh at the fact that “JAR” is on the New Hope table’s leaderboard at last place with 100 points. The Attack From Mars looks awesome! Had no idea Tales from Arabian Nights was included. Love that table! Such great sounds. Would totally preorder one, if I didn’t plan on building a full-size V-pin with all the bells and whistles probably within a year or so (currently working with Arcade 86 to build a full-size 4-player arcade cabinet). Great video, Michael B!

Nice review. When I 1st heard about these last year I wanted one so bad. After reading up on everything I decided to build a Full size 4K cab myself and love it. PS The “standard“ size for a DMD has a 4:1!ratio. Though many newer games use 16x9 screens. The size of the dmd screen probably came down to cost of what was available in the qtys they needed. If you get into modding there’s custom aprons you can set behind the DMD to fill the screen.

@JesterTester 3 жыл бұрын

Great review Michael. I have to say, in my opinion the AFM table looks so much better than the Star Wars table as far as the real world tables. They are scaled very nicely. The flippers look like a decent size. As well as the Pinball. And the whole game display is in use from top to bottom. Unlike the Star Wars where the games are just in the middle of the screen. The colors are also so nice on that table. Well enjoy, and have fun.

Great Job! Almost tempted to pick one up but Im also waiting for the Killer Instinct to release so I think I will jist hold off and wait for my atgames to arrive in April. Oh and you really nailed all the same issues i noticed when i played. Also the difference between the lowest volume and sound off is a kittle to high for my liking. I really notice it when im trying to play quietly at night but still want to hear it.

I hope they come out with a Elvira, funhouse, universal monsters, and kiss in the future. My only problem is I wish the opening screen is language select instead of attract mode. The dmd on the attack from mars pinball looks better than the one on star wars and marvel in my opinion. Otherwise I'm in heaven. I have 30 pinball tables.

It looks fantastic, from the outside, but the 1/4 scale monitors are a deal killer for me. I have a true 3/4 scale cabinet, with true 3/4 scale monitors, and after having to put up with Toyshock's 1/4 scale monitor for a year, I must have an honest, true to scale cabinet, mainly because of my eye sight. I can't read that 7" DMD My 3/4 scale table had one of those, and I quickly unplugged that monitor, and just externally mounted a 14" LCD DMD. It makes the table look funny, but it works, for me, anyway. Congrats on getting one of those. If I get the A1up tables, they'll mostly be for guests, during parities. They do look impressive, I gotta say, though. :) Thanks for sharing, and congrats.

Just ordered mine after seeing it on sale for $430 from HSN’s Black Friday deal. Was leaning to getting the AtGames machine for functionality, but this one just looks so much better as a feature in home. I may someday make a full size Vpin machine, but honestly this fills that casual home experience feel. And it makes trips to the city that much more special to actually play the tables in person. Arabian Nights is probably my all time favourite table so being on here is fantastic. Overall seems like an amazing at home experience. Lastly, I see they finally pushed the update out that fixes the issues people had. Very excited!

@@flbizowner9384 I do very much! It is a great conversation piece whenever people visit and looks great in my home office/game room. I have no issues with quality and regular use and even modified the unit to also include the Star Wars, Marvel, and Zen pinball android app tables. There are easy to follow guides on KZfaq, and the whole process is very simple. I used the method of legally purchasing tables on android and importing them to the system. I definitely recommend doing this as it brings the total available tables much higher and gives me the feeling of having a whole arcade at home. The screen resolution is not an issue in the slightest. I imagine it would be obvious or a problem side by side with higher res machines, but I live unaware of the comparison and am very satisfied. Another modification I recommend is relocation of the solenoids for better feedback. Again, tutorials available for that if you search it. Tldr: if you’re interested, go for it. You’ll be happy

I used to have a real Rollercoaster Tycoon table in my house, but today, it’s just not REMOTELY financially practical to add more. Like many, I play Williams on my iPad Pro for the very tables in THIS machine. I’m a LITTLE bummed they put Gophers & Hurricane in it over _Theater of Magic_ & *CIRQUS VOLTAIRE!!* 👀 😳 WHA??? 🤦‍♂️ Not even CREATURE or Monster Bash?!!! BUT, Arabian Nights & Medieval Madness lessen that horror … a LITTLE. Dude, how HEAVY is it? 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for this! 🤟😃

Just nabbed it myself on sale for $400 with the 10% off from Wayfair. Creature would've been a great one to put on there! I remember spending countless hours on the Simpsons pinball from data east back in 1990 at the liquor store with a buddy of mine. Was addicted to that one! I think for the price of around $400 it's the best way to experience some authentic williams tables combined with everything else that Mars attacks machine has to offer. I don't feel like blowing too much on an atgames one either. Too big, too long to load and most of the tables are not real tables. I think this one will be just fine. Might have to toss a heatsink on back of that PCB board. I don't like the thought of it possibly overheating from what Ive read. Might have to do same with dragons lair over here when I get round to building it

I knew they werent putting monster bash in bc the potential universal table, but no theater of magic really saddened me.... still pumped for mine to come in... someday?!

Think they will do a The Simpson pinball to go with the new cab they just dropped? If they do I would probably buy it. They could also do a TMNT and T2 pinball as well.

Use a little lithium grease on the plunger, will smooth it out real nice

Nice review. I think you represent the average person that is buying these pinball cabs. People want something that just works and is a conversation piece. They probably won't notice the graphical issues. I agree they really missed the mark of not having wifi. The online leaderboards are needed as well as any potential firmware updates.

Thank you for this review! Since you have played Zen pinball on other platforms, can you please confirm whether the tables are using "Single Player" physics or "Classic Single Player" (aka Williams) physics? From all the videos I've seen, it appears to be using Single Player physics, which is floatier and slower.

I’ll stand to be corrected but if I recall correctly, Zen Studios confirmed that the AFM is using the Williams physics.

@@ketowolf that's what I've heard, but it still looks floatier than the PC Classic Single Player physics to me. Hoping someone who has both platforms can compare.

I cant really tell the difference feels like when I usually play with the Williams physics though
