These vpins are relatively new and Im sure they’ll keep improving. Theres nothing like the real thing but for most people owning a real pin is just not practical- its expensive and if it breaks you better know how to fix it, if you can even find the parts. Plus you aren’t limited to just one game. I got the ALP and it is far from perfect but for the price I paid Im happy with it. This one has better games but its a little smaller than the atgames pinball. Again its not the real deal but its like 88% almost which is close enough for me

Yeah, attack from Mars and medieval madness. Are some of my favorite pinball games. Period I just wish there was better resolution here. And the G sensor went bad on mine and I still have to replace it. Really interested in what Atgames is doing. Their new 4K pinball might be worth getting.

Over the last year I've been lucky enough to be able to play around 40 real tables every few months. This has taught me that digital pinball is definitely not the same as the real deal, but also that it has come a long way and has improved substantially over the years. The latest Visual Pinball recreations by the VPinball Workshop collective for example are seriously impressive (for proof, check out its rendition of Bad Cats or G5K's Attack from Mars). So I guess the ideal solution would be to build your own digital pinball cabinet (if you can) or buy one of the pre-built full-size versions. The problem with the latter is that these can be (almost) as expensive as the real ones, the prices of which have unfortunately skyrocketed over the past three years or so (Covid-19 related I guess). The original AfM now goes for $9,000 to $12,000 and the remakes by Chicago Gaming Company are offered for similar prices. MM original is around $14,000 and the remakes from $11,000 all the way to $20K for the Royal Edition. There's currently an ad on Pinside asking for $24,500 for an RE with some lighting and toy upgrades.

I think you were right on mark with the review. I’m hoping changing out the plexiglass for real glass changes some of the clarity issue. And a patch from A1up for some of the playability. There is a free and easy mod to improve the solenoid haptics 👍 The A1up does grow on you after playing more. Also, the Arcade 1up machine should have little to no maintenance, a real Pinball machine has considerable amount of maintenance to keep it going. And the cost vs a real machine is excellent ! Just wish it was a little better

You’re right on with your comments. I do know how much the maintenance is on a real machine because my friend owns a bunch of his restaurant.

They also need to fix white water.

All the game rooms in the malls near me closed for whatever reason. They reopened a game room recently at one of the malls but not one pinball machine. They are expensive to own and operate. The real pinball machines require constant maintenance (solenoids, bumpers, flipper actuators, lights). I’m sure the video version of it will be tons less maintenance but i don’t expect it to last more than 5 years. From what I’ve learned with electronics, they never last. My dad had a tube TV for decades. The electronic TVs that I buy don’t last more than 5 or 6 years and we’re talking descent brands (LG, Samsung). I will buy it for the experience and enjoy it for what it is.

I bought the Star Wars model when these first released and really enjoyed it....then I started opening my eyes to what vpin could be and how far these machines are from that. I sold the Star Wars model when the price jump hit, so I made all of my money back that I had spent and reinvested that into the AtGames Legends. I found an old Dell Optiplex and threw an Nvidia 1650 in it and was on my way with OTG mode. It was a world of difference mainly with the larger playfield (32" vs 24", but also having a full video board for the backglass as well as a higher resolution. Count in the ability to push the graphics to the max for FX3 and I was very happy. Then I discovered VPX and PInupPopper and haven't looked back. Since then I've added some haptic feedback to the AtGames and it replicates the real feel of the tables extremely well. Not a lot of investment either, since VPX is free.

@@EvrydayErik you are right about the lines. My review on this is from a casual pinball person mindset. If you are like me you will probably love it. I think comparing real tables is a big mistake for the real pinball fan base. That is why it seems the worst reviews I have noticed is always for the Attack From Mars table. These are not pinball. Its like comparing real warfare to paintball. While visually it reminds you of it and reaching that goal of victory can still be exhilarating...it is still not the same. For someone like me it is perfect. Take racing games for example...we all loved them growing up the past few decades. It is nothing like real racing or driving in general. We do prefer better simulations but we can still bust out something like out run and enjoy it. Because we were exposed to the game first generally speaking. So we are not always turning around saying...this is not like real racing.

I used to own a real pinball machine (NBA Fastbreak) and of course its impossible to compare with a digital machine. BUT...real pinball VINTAGE machines - the ones with 20+ years - are hard to maintain. The playfield is filled with little dents and marks that affects the game, theres always broken or loose cosmetic pieces that are almost impossible to find (or really expensive), and you need a good technician to go to your place every 6 months to make a check up. Theres the termites (big problem on any old wood cabinet) and the last HUGE problem: need to move the machine to a new place? Better call 4 friends! These old machines weights almost 400lbs and WILL BREAK! So i really dig these digital ones, but lets wait for the second generation. 1080p is a must!

Not to mention the cost. It's interesting that I see old video games for as little as $300, but it's tough to find anything under 2k for even vintage machines. And for something that is actually considered somewhat desirable, you can easily double that figure as an entry level price. If you're just looking for a little fun in your basement or garage, these things are worth a look. Hell, the last vacation we took to Gattlinburg for 5 days cost us $3500, I would have had way more fun with one of these tables for 800 bucks.

The top and graphics are fine and the flippers seem a little “off” but it’s not a huge deal. Like somebody said it’s not regular pinball it’s digital pinball. It’s challenging and it’s been fun so far. No, it’s probably not worth $750 when you think about the computing power in a phone or game console now.

I had no idea this even existed. I guess there would be the nostalgia draw for me too. I had a lot of great times playing "Attack from Mars" and "Medieval Madness" about 15 years ago. I had a group of friends who would head to a lounge that was across the street from the office building after they got off work. We would all meet up there, just have drinks and play pinball for a few hours. It was good times. To be fair to Arcade1up, they did get a decent representation of the actual hardware pinball machines-- a little soft/ pixelated, but still a good effort to visually capture something that was physical hardware in a video screen image. I was able to really get mentally taken back to the actual "Mars" and "Medieval" pinball machines I used to play. I was hoping that your review would show the Medieval castle freaking out... I used to get a real kick out of that when that castle would start slapping around. Does the video pinball ever get stuck in the left ramp cage?...lol. The one I used to play one would occasionally have the ball get stuck in the ramp...lol. But that is just the thing... this is a video representation. Not playing on the actual hardware pinball machine will feel "different" and not have the quirks of an actual pinball machine. I am not sure I would even want to play the Arcade1up version.... I know I would be somewhat let down and just wish that much more that I was playing on a real pinball machine. But I give Arcade1up total credit. It is a good emulation, but just like playing on video game console emulator, I prefer the feel of the actual original hardware systems. I am really at the point of just not even bothering with any kind of emulators, it just lacks certain subtleties of the original hardware that is being emulated. Just my personal preference. I think I will just save the $600 and put it into a savings account and save up for a couple of years to buy the actual pinball machine. Thanks for the review-- I honestly had no idea that someone did a video game version of these pinball machines. It was a valiant effort. I agree with you, if someone hasn't played the actual "Attack From Mars" or "Medieval Madness" they might really have fun with this. But once you played on the actually machines, it is hard to substitute a video game port for the hardware . I don't think I would be very happy with it.

It has "Custom graphics, real glass, Szabo’s Arcade topper, coin and launch buttons, TMNT stool w/ custom stool cover, and A1up pinner mod w/ all 30 tables plus all the extras." the extras being the downloadable games like Jurassic Park, ET, Addams Family etc. He sent me screenshots of the games lists he's paid to download onto it. The stool has a graphic that looks like it would had 1up included stools with the pinballs. The added coin door, real glass, the szabo topper and the custom stool are probably worth $200 alone I would guess, but he's done all the footwork installing the pinner mod, and bought extra games. I'm thinking of buying it, but I don't want my wife to kill me lol. I just bought a $199 Simpsons and $299 T2 yesterday (Sams has Simpsons for 199 and Ultimate MK3 for $249, which I'm also on the fence on). I really want to play pinball, especially Jurassic Park and some of the other classics, do these machines really satisfy your pinball craving, or is it a completely different experience all together?

I have the Attack from Mars table and like most everyone else, can't play whitewater. Submitted a ticket to Arcade 1 Up and they responded by saying I should turn off ball trails. Never had them on or any of the animation extras. We need to keep the pressure on Arcade 1 up to stand behind this product and either fix the issue or give another table to replace white water.

But it’s all software, so I guess users are prevented for adding more tables due to licensing/legalities. If that’s the case, too bad.

You mentioned seeing a linear visual artifact, which you feel may be associated with the play field plex. There is a small number of people who can actually see polarization in LCD panels. Even if you replace the plex with glass, you're still going to see the polarization artifact. It's more noticeable at the shallow angles we view a Vpin from, whilst playing. Even though I'm legally blind, I've noticed I can sometimes make out the polarization in car windows, under certain conditions. I've even noticed the effect on a $900 flat panel, which nobody else could see, but one other person I know. I thought it was a flaw, but a manufacturing rep suggested I talk to an eye doctor, who did confirm that it was me, and not the screen. Regarding the nudge, you don't need to rock the table. You only need to thump the side of the table, to get the desired movement on the ball Rocking the table, forcibly, will input forces the accelerometer can't process, as they go beyond their rated detection values. I agree, the backbox marquee should've been square, like on your physical Attack from Mars table. I don't have this one, yet, but do have Marvel, and Star Wars pinball tables. I can't see the tiny, little DMD, and had to build a custom magnification rig. Thanks for sharing this.

For virtual pinball you really need a 4k screen.......I built my own and with 4k, real leaf-switches for flippers, and a playfield monitor that has very low screen refresh rates, there is no flipper lag. Is it like a real pinball? No but I cannot afford a 15k AFM. This is the next best thing. With Visual Pinball X installed, there are hundreds of tables emulated.

(I'm not too good at building stuff). I started with a 1080P playfield monitor but eventually got a good deal on an Acer 32" 4K monitor and the difference in look and feel was immediate. Everything popped, you can read the apron cards, the resolution is incredibly good and the the version of AFM that I have installed is very good.......still not like a real pin but acceptably good.

Well thanks for the review. I have a few problems thought. I really feel like you came in to this machine with a false expectation. What I mean by that is You cant expect a $500 machine to be anywhere near the $15000 counterpart. Thats kinda like expecting your plastic model car to have the same features of its real life car. Second its 80million not 80thousand. lol. As far as high scores go there are always scores present. Very rarely do you see a bunch of blank scores just so you can put yours up. That just doesnt happen. Third the solenoids are not for sound they are for feel. So wanting them to turn up the volume on them is also a really bad expectation. Like it or not this is a video game. It is in no way a real pinball. Now yes it has similarities but again you cant expect it to be identical. It just felt like once you cracked open the box your feeling was negative. Like when you said the table Junk Yard just looks like a bunch of junk on the screen. Im pretty sure thats intentional. Also like the real machines you have to figure out what to do on each table. THats part of learning the tables. I think you have been listening to way to many youtubers with negative feelings about this table and other example. You showed the White Water and said "trust me" its there. Lol I didnt see it. So if you didnt really see it at least in the vid you showed us then how is your opinion being formed? Lastly what really was funny is that you went to a real arcade and played the real machine then based much of your opinion off that. Thats like me test driving a BMW and then buying the remote control car version and complaining that it doesn't have the same features and driving capabilities. I think if you take this cab for what it is which is a video game representation of a real pinball. Then you would like it a lot more. Its cool though its your opinion but I just think you came at it wrong and not with an open mind.

But I think it is really interesting, and maybe some day get one.

I keep replaying this, even though I was a critical. I think you just have to have your expectations in the right place. I also think a little more horsepower would’ve really made this special. It looks great in my mini arcade. I also went to my local Walmart to see the turtles game. I never picked that one up, if it came back out again with a lighted marquee I might get it.

I have this virtual pinball and I have a real Stern pinball. You have very similar issues on new pinball machines made today as you do on virtual pinball Every product has bugs when it comes out. I think other than some iffy graphics at times id rather have bugs on my $570 arcade1up pinball vs the bugs I've experienced on my $8000 Stern pinball
@EvrydayErik3 жыл бұрын
That’s true, it looks like a NASA control room under that stern pinball table. I play the Arcade1up 10 ball table, I just wish it wasn’t 1080 P and bring out the depths more. I went back to the arcade and the software really does not emulate the ball physics of that table very well. It’s a different game. Thanks for stopping by, cheers!

Yeah its not consistent...thats why it doesn't have near the same price tag as a real or real good vintage unit...do you know how much a repair or replacement part is on a real pin ball machine? If your lucky for parts and time its $300
@EvrydayErik2 жыл бұрын
Oh yeah I couldn’t afford a real machine with the maintenance. I did play this one a lot. However, I’m getting the ghost nudges so I have a problem with the G sensor. I’m going through that process and started a ticket with Arcade1up. A lot of people are having that issue apparently. There is a lot of place value here, I just wish it had a little more polish and a higher resolution presentation. But we all know Arcade1up is going to come up with the improved version soon, and I’ll probably buy it.

Are you going to do an update since the new firmware is out and reported it has fixed problems and adjusted the graphics somewhat.
@EvrydayErik2 жыл бұрын
Other people have beat me and made videos. I finally downloaded the update yesterday and it does do everything it says. White water is finally playable. I also like how you can adjust the accelerometer. The graphics are still the same resolution, but I think it did fix some frame rate issues on a couple games. The worst part of downloading the patch is that it erased all of my high scores. I don’t think I’m ever going to get To mars again in attack from Mars, so that sucks.

@@EvrydayErik Yeah I get that, it's because the computer running it can not run the game at an acceptable FPS so they lower the resolution. I also think for folks with limited space and a small budget, this is a cool out. it has 10 games in the top 100 pins currently and three of the top 10 IMHO. I do not own any 1up games... think they are all weak. I do have a Vpin plus 15 real pins. Led Z is my latest... it's amazing to own if you're a guy who grew up during the A$$ Beating Era!

Thanks for sharing your nostalgia with us. My favorite pinball machines is "Black Hole" and "Hercules". I totally understand where your complaints are coming from, having been born in 1967, I've lived through probably the best age of Arcades and really miss them. It was awesome going into the dimly lite room full of brightly lit video and pinball machines and get lost for hours and hours. Arcades like Drive-Inns, and Roller Rinks are never truly going to replaced with their digital counter parts, even if V.R. really improves unless some sort of Matrix like connection can be made. Anyway thanks for sharing your love of Pinball and your opinion on Arcade1Ups1Up. P.S. Steam has an interesting pinball game system, that I believe can be ported over to Arcade1Ups1Ups Pinball, called Zaccria Pinball. Maybe you can check that out and see if it improves the experience. I just bought into it myself so having tried it yet, but if it sucks I'll update this comment and let you know.
@DarinM19673 жыл бұрын
Update. Just played 4 different retro pinball machines and while it does have some glitches here and there, it's very responsive and has features like changing orientation (i.e. portrait or landscape), blank high scores, a global high score so you can see how other people are doing, simulation and arcade modes, a lot of configuration settings for looks, ray tracing, glass quality, etc. The tables themselves look very well desided, authentic and with perspective on they have a lot of visual depth. I heard that you can run Zaccria Pinball on the 1up, but don't remember the content creator who set theirs up to work with it. Just something to let you know about. Again thanks for taking the time to create a very well done video about your experiences with Arcade1Ups Pinball!

There real close to pulling off something cold here, I just think it needs a better CPU and resolution. Thanks for checking out my video and keep me posted!
