One of my favorite things about modern times is actually modern conveniences for retro machines and devices, it's been such a nice quality of life to have something like this in an all in one. I'm gonna have to bookmark this for my new home this christmas 😁 one of the best things about getting my home this Christmas is being able to fill it with the toys I love like this! I am still tempted to build my own though lol

True, but keep in mind you also pay for a fully arcade machine with all kind of control options out of the box. Besides putting the pieces together all the work is already done for you. Try building an Arcade yourself. The costs will build up quickly when using high quality stuff. I know this from experience 😅

I have one of these, it was closer to 500 a couple years ago. Maybe that's just US pricing or inflation. Youre right it's underpowered, other than that its great when you add your own games. Nit too many machines at that price have spinner, ball, and 2 sets of controls(at my buy price anyway)

It’s designed for arcade game emulation FFS. There are a million ways to play your illegal console rom games, but those were not designed to be played at a cabinet stood up like that. Arcade games were.

I normally dont like AtGames, but I will give them credit on this, its a pretty solid device for beginners. I am just to much of a tinker myself to warrant 1k for it, as I would be ripping out everything but the LCD to put in better stuff.

In my opinion the way to address the limited power is to hook a steamdeck up to it otg. They have coinops for steamdeck and it can also then run most pc games.

It looks great, well built. The price tag is the only hurdle due to the power. I think if they attached a videl of their build process, maybe people will be more willing to purchase as they can see 1st hand how the unit has been built and what it takes 👍🏾 thanks for the awesome video.

With the available features and the deep customization options, I'd say this is a pretty sweet idea, but the processing power is absolute garbage. Seriously, my Raspberry Pi 4 can even run Tekken (arcade) and PS1 games. There's no excuse for that if I'm paying over $1,000 for this cabinet.

It feels like the markup on these in the UK compared to the US is mad. I always hate the mish-mash style art they always have on these things as well - I actually think the control panel and bezel looks pretty decent, they should have gone for a more cohesieve overall design along those lines. The spinner is overkill on a machine like this though, awful placement and there isn't much need for 2 spinners either, having 2 in the most awkward place possible isn't worth it imo. They'd have been better off stripping it back a bit and just having 2P + Trackball imo

I looked at a list, and apparently it doesn't have Defender or Stargate. Can such a thing be possible? Or am I wrong? At 4:50 you say you can use your own legally obtained games, on a USB stick. Would I be able to do this with Stargate and Tempest? How do you think these two games would look/play on this machine? Tempest was a fast game. Thanks for any help.

If you want something that is literally just plug and play but still looks great, the best option might actually be the Pac-Man Legacy Edition Cabinet by Arcade1Up. It comes with both Pac-Man and Galaga and other Namco games but if you wanted to get a cabinet where you can add your own games and tinker with it more, then you'd need something like you see in this video with the Legends Ultimate!

The Pac-Man Namco Legacy Edition should have Pac-Man and Galaga pre-installed. It has ten other games too like Dig Dug, Mappy, Rompers and a ton of Pac-Man spin offs. So there's no need to add any games to it so long as the pre-installed ones are the main ones you want!

Great machine. Just a shame it's sold by a total scumbag company that is - Liberty Games. I ordered one, near the start of the year, was given a delivery date, but nothing showed up. A week went buy, nothing, 3rd week I sent an email asking where it was - nothing. Another week later, sent them a snotty email telling them I would be going to my bank to launch a fraudulent claim, finally got a reply - and what a reply. Was told to be patient, they were busy, and my machine was actually with them - so I sent an even snottier letter telling them the machine was supposed to be with ME, not with them, 4 weeks ago. Anyway, took another week to get a refund. Total joke of a company.
