Bill Loguidice Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Full post: https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2020/06/08/upcoming-full-size-legends-pinball-home-machine-revealed/ Summary: The newest entry in the impressive Legends home arcade series, which already includes the Legends Ultimate and Legends Gamer, has been revealed in a fascinating new teaser. Scheduled for release at major retailers in the US later this year, the AtGames Legends Pinball looks like a full-size home virtual pinball machine to be reckoned with, particularly since it utilizes the same popular Open and Connected platform that the Legends Ultimate and Legends Gamer already use to great effect.

Zoyous Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 This sounds good so far!... online screen share party play sounds like it could be cool. When can we expect to see some pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 BYOG I assume means you can run TPA etc. on it? ...too bad I moved into a smaller place this year...$600 seems suspiciously cheap for a full-size virtual pin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like $600 was suspiciously cheap for a full-size arcade machine? It's true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoyous Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 That's nice, glad to see Farsight involved in this! 22 built-in games, eh? Let the speculation as to which ones they are begin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 As a big pinball fan myself (and I own several), I'm not a huge fan of virtual pins, but I do look forward to seeing how this pans out. Especially for the price, that's tough to beat. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key to these pin sims is the clarity of the screen. I played one that had Black Knight 2000 (my fav) and it was hard to discern the top level from the bottom as the screen was a bit washed out and playfield distorted. Hoping this has a good presentation of the playfield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 So it comes with Android TPA, but it can run PC TPA??? How does that work? I assume one would still have to buy the Arcooda pack to play in cabinet mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyous Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Okay, we're about five weeks away from the beginning of Q4. When can we expect more information? Hands-on impressions? Information about which retailers will have it in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite possible we'll make it out before any of the smaller competing machines, so there should be plenty of time to make an informed decision.

Bill Loguidice Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 The Legends Pinball web page goes live at 9AM PT/Noon ET. That's also when the embargo lifts on the influencer YouTube videos. The Facebook fan page has more info, and there's even a dedicated Legends Pinball fan page. Both Facebook groups will also have links to the various YouTube influencer videos that have even more information on this upcoming machine. You'll find out about what's been upgraded from the earlier leaks, when pre-orders start, etc. I can tell you already that if you're a fan of virtual pinball, there's no other mass market machine out or announced that comes anywhere close to what this has on offer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. All Gottlieb games for now? One day it would be cool to see an "Atari Pinball" pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Here's a quick look at the cabinet (subject to additional tweaks before going to final production): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyous Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Looks pretty good! Wow, 150 lbs.?! I just got a 180 lb. treadmill so I have a good idea of how much this weighs. Although I think just by the form this would be much easier to move into position than the treadmill. Personally I think I would prefer one single art theme, but for a "collage" style this isn't bad. Looks like a real breakthrough in value for money in this field! I'll be interested in seeing how easy it is to get your Steam titles playing on this.

wolfy62 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have been following so many other things that this is really the first time I have looked at this project. I have space for exactly one machine,whether it be for Arcade games or Pinball. I already have 1,000s of video games and I love pinball too. Yet other than a couple pinball video games,it is mostly nonexistent in my house. My only qualification was whichever machine I buy it plays many different games on one machine. Good chance I may choose this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested in seeing how easy it is to get your Steam titles playing on this. In terms of BYOG and Steam and everything related to that, this works similarly to how it works on the Legends Ultimate and Legends Gamer series. It's all part of the same ecosystem. Of course, the 22 built-in games are fully optimized for 1080p/60fps performance and to take advantage of the table's special features. External games will be able to take advantage of only select features (especially things like haptics or the second screen) without having patches. The good thing is that this is going to be on the same weekly update schedule as all the other products in the Legends Arcade Family. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
