Yes!! Thanks!
Thanks for the link.
Any recommendations on what to put on bottom of the legs to elevate it a bit more while still keeping it stable?
@@Gnosticgief www.pinballlife.com/heavy-duty-leg-leveler-black.html
@@PDubsArcadeLoftwhich set of legs do you use for the micro?
@@Gnosticgief I ordered the black ones linked here for my main ALP and will use the original silver ALP legs on the micro
Yeah - he’s back from near death to provide an excellent mini pinball review.
Thank you 😊
Love this little brother of the ALP ….GREAT REVIEW . Hope you feel better bud
I'm surviving, one day at a time. I'm glad you enjoyed the review.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft me too Patrick…it sucks getting old
Great review pdubs! I pre ordered the alp micro and very excited for it. Im running out of space so this product solves that for me.
There you go - you are the target audience for this product.
Loving mine so far. I’ve got a bigger virtual pin that I built myself in the barcade. This one is perfect for its size (great for the little kids) and “portability”- I bring it up to the office a lot.
Now I just need some legs for it!
Pinned a link for compatible legs
Definitely interested in this! I picked up the Arcade1Up AfM table because of just how good it looks as a decoration and it has 2 of my all time favourite tables.
I wasn’t a fan of the full sized AG design but the ability to have this little guy to play all other VPin sounds like a perfect little treat. Especially as a bar top piece.
Nice man!
Ho dude,I'm a new pinball aficionado. I wasn't sure in the virtual ones,but you just sold me,I just order one. Thanks fro. A loyal new subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
@@PDubsArcadeLoft CHOOOO CHOOOOO🍻🍻🤣🤣
Great review 👍 This is much better than I expected from a micro. I'm still holding out for something larger though. Maybe next year.
It's honestly better than I thought it would be
Hey Hey Pdubs!! Another banger of a product review! This videos are great! For my part, being a bit of an AtGames fan, the one thing I really admire is that when they release products, they're really well made. I'd rather a company build 1 or 2 new quality products than 100 different ones with all sorts of issues. For what this is, the fit and finish appears awesome and unless I missed something, the only negative you had for it was the UI...which is software and can probably be updated by AtGames at anytime. So to me, this product is a home run for the holiday season!!
Best Regards!
Thanks David! Yes overall positive review from me here on this one minus the price tag wish it retailed a bit less and they change out that UI
Thank you David!
The Micro ALP is a really sweet device, well made, great job Atgames. Now for next year blow us away with an ALP Max, with 43" Playfield, a DMD and 24" Back glass. Considering people can pick up ALP sometimes for less than 400 bucks, to me is amazing, even at a slight discount the ALP is my favorite arcade unit. If I didn't have the ALP I would def consider the ALP Micro, great view Pdubs.
Due to rising costs of parts I doubt we would see that from AtGames but that would be nice if it did happen
I've definitely been enjoying mine! I got mine from Sams yesterday for $299! Just looking at mods now as well as which tables to add.
So glad that they put the hook ups in the rear of the machine and not the bezel. Great design choice for the Mini ALP.
Agreed 👍
With working from home, I'm seriously thinking about getting this for the corner of my work desk. Seems like something great to pass time during downtimes. Now I just have to wait for a sale (hopefully) soon.
Boom 💥 good idea
The amount of detail down to making it look like bulbs are behind glass...insane!
I'm glad you like it!
Great review. Well worth the money. I might pick one up.
Thank you my dude!
Considering it's small it does pack a punch! Wish the normal MSRP was a little less but it goes on sale all the time. What do you think of the Legends Pinball Micro? Let me know below!
I would have to say after seeing your video on it I really want one, but that price is a bit prohibitive especially when it comes to the spouse buy in to purchase. Great review and much appreciated!
@@slappymcphee thank you, try flowers and a massage you'll get your pinball
Hi. Discovered the problem with the micro D pad in a forum "As far as the D pad, I did have that issue. I took it apart and realize the white  membrane on the inside was upside down. I flipped it over and put it back together and it works great now".
cool. I love traditional pinball gotta try one of these
Enjoy!
PDubs,
I really do think this is a great looking machine, and hearing that it performs like a champ, is fantastic. I don't know if AtGames yet truly realizes the lightning in a bottle potential they have here. They brought out a great little machine, but what really excites me, is the possibility of a "Gen 2" version.
I think the word you used, which I think sums up this product best, is "almost." I think AtGames is getting a lot of great feedback from the community, and if they take some of the best of it to action, I think they can blow away any competition in this space. I think the three following areas could put the Legends Micro Pinball over the top:
They need a plunger. AtGames makes the best in the biz, in my opinion, and this little guy needs that love.
The next thing, VIBS technology, as standard, with no additional parts, or install required. AtGames next iteration needs to have true HDMI ports for their monitors and for plug-in devices like PC's. If they can get this down to a true "out of the box" plug n' play solution, I think even the custom VPin companies out there would start to quake. AtGames is sitting on a potential expansion gold mine. They just need to make it more accessible to more types of people, so those with little to no knowledge of modding can easily get in.
And finally, I think they could fit in a titch bigger monitor for the backglass. 10, maybe 12 inches, without increasing the size of the machine, it would make a big difference.
I hope AtGames sells a lot of these first models. If all the extras I mentioned make it to a next gen model, I think their current full price point makes sense. But, I would even consider a price increase if they could make it all work seamlessly. And yes, my friend Dubs, a small controller module to add some CoinOpsX action would be some delicious icing on the cake :)
vgv
Thanks Vegas! AtGames should get HDMI monitors or just include the VIBs pre-installed in future products I agree 💯. People will pay more for plug and play
Thank you Vegas!
I built a table with a 32 inch 2K monitor because the ATGames screen was too small. I am older and I needed a larger screen. I am very happy with it!
Nice, enjoy!
Glad you’re feeling better! I was surprised you were so high on this tyke, but trust your review since you actually paid for it! Any whispers of a bigger ALP? Atgames came out of the shoot hot with a bigger regular arcade and definitely a better pinball, but I want the next level. New pinball tables didn’t feel next level and other than Vibbs board (mine still boxed because I don’t have a PC. I love plugging a switch via HDMI but can’t use the buttons. Are Dr. Seuss games free to owners or just half price? Have you heard about sneak peaks. Hope the family is better. You sounded good maybe you recorded prior to getting sick. Thanks for a legit review!
I've heard nothing about a larger version of the ALP. This video was made before I was in the hospital. Dr. Seuss is free to LPO Members otherwise get them when on sale next week.
Nice 👍 can't wait to get one and put pinball legs on the mini and slide it next to my original Atgame legend pinball machine
Brothers that flip together stay together or something of that nature
That thumbnail text 😆
Lol
Thanks for sharing this video. This artwork does look cooler on the sides compared to it's bigger brother. I would love to get the bigger version of this or even the smaller version for that matter, but the one thing that is holding me back for purchasing is the menu screen in navigating. I've watched videos on RUclips and it looks too confusing and too easy to screw up. So I'll wait till they make that better. Also, if you're having a hard time reading alphanumeric displays or you want the backglass have a larger, magnified view, may I suggest putting a Fresnel lens on the backglass. You can get magnify readers from Amazon cheaply, that'll fit on there pretty easily. It works out great. I have one on my Gottlieb Raven pinball machine. From that era, from that company, Gottlieb/Premier ended up putting in small alphanumeric displays from the mid to late 80s to cut costs. So hard to read. Now it's so easy to read. Here's the link of my custom Raven pinball machine I modified.

Thank you
I’ve been enjoying this little machine. Other than the side art It has exceeded all my expectations. I’m already looking for third party side art and toppers😝
I'm actually digging the split Taito design
I like the bubble bobble side of mine. I’d like to make the other side match it.
Thanks fren. I love my virtual pinball table
Thanks for watching!
Really want one of these.
On sale next week
I got one to make an great couter-cade. I think the ALPmicro runs smoother and feels better stock than my ALP. It's a great item. Needs Arcade Control panel asap
Thanks for sharing!
The ball physics reminds me of Pinball Arcade, where the balls float quite a bit.
Nope, Magic Pixel Physics do not look like that at all. If you feel something looked funny on the video it would be due to a DSLR camera pointed at a screen and video editing software for RUclips that renders the video at 30 frames per second. This is not a capture card and rendering at 60 frames. Magic Pixel Physics look nothing like pinball arcade Physics. Far superior.
Perfect for specific use cases (bartops), but honestly the full size is just such a great value that is worth the increased cost.
If they don't have space for full size then this will work.
Can you sideload it to the machine? If I buy pinball FX through Steam can I hook it up to this machine?
Any chance you or MB or both are doing reviews of the game packs available for the Atgames Legends family? I picked up the Activision pack, the Data East Packs I am not sure but would be good to know more about them before the Black Friday event sale is over. I rather like the Activision pack for Demon Attack, Kaboom and Pitfall to name a few. I grew up with the 2600 so maybe its just for the memories.
I have the packs. I'm not going to do a review of them.
This looks pretty cool actually… I’ll keep an eye for a sale in the next year or so
Thanks for watching!
Man this could be a Galaga (or other upright game) machine. Great opportunity missed out here!
Yes, which is why i skipped A1up for the ALP which is why these are not my cup O tea, but it's cool there is a cheaper option.
Thanks for the feedback!
I am gonna build a sit down riser for mine the height of a cocktail cab.
I hope you and your family are feeling better
We're surviving, one day at a time.
Does the back of the top light up
I have the alp so I was planning on skipping this. Still seems like a great option for people without the space. Now you said connecting a steam deck to it? You should make a video on that for the alp then again on the mini. Would love to see how to do that.
Wagners Tech Talk shows this. It will be the same steps on the ALP Micro as he showed on the ALP
How are you liking the mini? I'm thinking of getting one. I have an ALP but I hurt my back and I can only stand at the pinball for so long. I think I could set this on the floor or on a small table in front of me and get in more pinball.
I'm digging it, it's fun
Looks cool and fun
Thank you
Great video. Does AtGames sell the legs separately?
Not yet. These will work www.pinballlife.com/sternsega-black-legs-set-of-4.html
This would be great for start ups in arcade space for people who want to bring pinballs in there arcade but don’t want a real one that is why more pricy
Great video, after your and Michael B video review I am gonna get one while on sale. I want an vvirtual pinball machine but this size is about perect since i don't have alot of room left. Btw in the video you said the link for the SEGA legs would be below butt i don't see it. Thanks again.

@@PDubsArcadeLoft thank you
This is a good choice for a Virtual Pinball Machine... if you don't own one already, unless you want a 2nd table.
I do hope atgames gets an arcade stick for it as I suspect the d-pad on the Micro is just as frustrating as the one on the APL.
Also, this would make a great companion for Steam Deck owners.
Agreed on all points
New to these. Do you get feedback when the ball hits something? One of the big impacts of playing a pinball machine is the vibration it makes when it hits something, and I was wondering if this does this and how accurate does it feel?
Yes there's haptic feedback. Feels fine
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Thanks for the reply !
Looks cool but one those things I will have to actually see and play.
Excellent review on the ALPu! It's an awesome little machine, the price seems very reasonable to me given the build quality, two display panels and extendibility. Definitely looking forward to the new VIBS board for it.
Thanks Jon, appreciate you!
Is this basically just Future Pinball in a prepackaged system? And how much do additional tables cost?
No.
All Pinball Pack and Pricing options www.atgames.us/
Does anyone make different graphics/decals for the Micro..?
Not yet
I got one of these from my brother and I really love it, however one thing I hate is having to resign in almost weekly??? Is there a way to disable that, or at the very least auto-populate the Id and password fields?
Every time I have turned on the pinball micro it automatically signs me in. I haven't had to log into it except the first time and it's held so far. If you're having issues email atgames customer service
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Huh, my brother says he's had to log into his full size once a week for well over a year, with mine it seems weekly as well, and its a pain ....Thanks!
@@iceman0124 I always have to login to my other atgames devices. The micro I haven't had that issue yet
Thanks for the review. I'm on the fence. If this thing will do visual pinball or similar, it is a no 🧠er and will join my collection
It will once the VIBs board is released next month
@@PDubsArcadeLoft, thank you. I'm in at the next sale.
I gotta have it
Looks heIIa awesome...🤘🏼💯✔️
It's fun
What is the name of the table at the 8:00 mark....has skiers on it? Thanks!
"WINTER SPORTS"
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Thanks, I was just over looking it :)
So many great tables on this thing, it's easy to miss one!
If space was a constraint for me, I would def buy this, but it DOES need a plunger.
Loss of plunger stinks but my Sharpin Tabletop and Switch Tabletop use a button and it works, it stinks, but not unplayable
@@PDubsArcadeLoft For sure. I would definitely rock it, if space was an issue.
so i pre ordered mine on the 10th how long of a wait do u think i will have?
I thought the website says 2 weeks right on the page when you order? You can always email customers service and ask
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I did all they told me was it was a first come first serve type deal I'm on a waiting list so not sure how long it will be
Don't hold your breath for an arcade panel upgrade. I opened up my Micro Pinball to see if that might be an option, and I was disappointed. Unlike its big brother, the D-pad in the Micro is not in a separate panel, but integrated into the frame that holds the playfield monitor. Also, there's no extra wiring to accommodate the additional functionality of a joystick and extra buttons.
On a side note, it's also disappointing that the "plunger button" just replicates the D-pad down button. Not a whole lot of buttons to use for OTG mode.
I mean at the most you would want to play a vertical game so need a mini joystick and 2-3 action buttons max. Let's see if they come up with something
can this machine play Earthshaker by Williams?
if you connect a PC to it and play a VPX version of the game
If only they had given this table the same sized backglass they used on the ALP, I'd have gone for it. There's no way I can see an 8" backglass. LOL I can't even see target fonts on a 24" A1up table. Best I could do with this one, is maybe keep the ball in play as long as possible? LOL I think I'd probably just set it up in a corner for company to play with. I do have an extra set of real pinball table legs I could affix to this cute, little Vpin.
Thanks Thomas! I do wear glasses myself and that helps me see 👀 lol
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I wear glasses, and they're not enough. I'd have to hang a magnifier over the playfield to try and see it. LOL I'm legally blind. Sooo..
@@ThomasGrillo I hear ya man
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Yeah, I'd have to do what I do for the A1up pins, and park a freestanding 8" Fresnel lens in front of the backglass monitor to see it. No beg deal, just looks stupid when I have to do that.
I don’t think the size matters, but if you have a full-size one, I see no point in just more clutter now if you have a small apartment or for a kids room this may be great. Are used to buy all of this crap until I realized it went for sale real quick on eBay lol. Even mini size arcades I only collect new wave and even that sometimes I wonder why lol.
Hmmm...if you watch the final thoughts section of the video I point out this is more for new customers with cost and space needs and if you own the big boy...you really don't need this.
Very disappointing the gottlieb tables aren’t standard and already included…huge mistake in my opinion. I was hoping to buy this with the 22 gottlieb tables already installed so I didn’t have to bother with the abundance of inconvenient updates
In all honesty the Gottlie Tables by FarSight Studios will end up on here but those Android versions althougn they have recognizable titles are not as good as all the Magic Pixel stuff in regards to visuals, gameplay, etc. I actually wish AtGames would partner up with them and re-do those tables from the ground up.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft that would be nice, since farsight seems to have given up on making new pinball titles.
Cool
Thanks
Most important question: can I play (Pinball Dreams) Nightmare on it? :)
PDubs is back Baby! I have the big one, but this one is awful darn cute. Maybe a later purchase. LOL- Still seems better than the A1Up, lowend chipset, low setting, low res pinball cabs.
This little device does do a lot more than any Arcade1up pinball machine does so yes very true there.
What are the system specs? Feels like a potato computer that will never run any decent VPX table
It will not run VPX, you need to plug in your own PC or Steam Deck, etc to run VPX
So it is like 350-400 bucks for an horizontal 15” screen, some arcade buttons and a cabinet? Sounds like a waste of money to me
Aaaaaand in Europe it is €699 = app. $765 (at the time of writing) + shipping. Probably it is parallel import with huge overhead or something. I really want it, but no thanks.
Import prices man
Yes, size does matter! Next question. Don't let Mrs PDubs question your manhood 😜
Har de har har! Why did you change your youtube name?
Interesting device but a little too pricey for what it is.
Appreciate the opinion!
The NOD autumn sale made the price a lot more bearable. It was $329 and came with a free VIBS board ($50) and $100 worth of tables for free. Table codes are coming at a later date.
@@sithlord9848 factor in their ridiculous shipping charges and taxes and its still close to $400. Overpriced
Sorry, don't recognize any of the games. Was looking for Balley, Williams, and Gotlieb. Gotta have a plunger no doubt, and 4K as well. I will be waiting on this one.
Plug in a PC and you can play all those games
❤job well done AtGames
Decent product! Pricey but decent
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ❤️
Size doesn’t matter , but if you don’t have flash from 1978 with background sounds theirs no collection , my opinion sorry
Lol ok 👍
The lack of a plunger is the reason why I said NO. Pinball with a button to shoot the ball doesn't seem like pinball. IMO
A plunger would be a nice feature, but remember, there are a lot of games that used just a launch button instead of a plunger. Since I use the ALP control panel button for a fire button in vpx, I have gotten used to using it as the plunger more than the actual plunger.
Loss of plunger stinks but my Sharpin Tabletop and Switch Tabletop use a button and it works, it stinks, but not unplayable
I wish I never bought anything from ATgames. I got the legends pinball micro and received it damaged. Screen has discolored spot. Contacted “customer support” and they want me to pay $50 return shipping for damage not my fault. Shipper won’t help because box wasn’t damaged. Plus I didn’t know they go on sale and already overpaid $100. Most miserable customer service experience in years.
Has anyone notice a weird smell from there machine 🤔
In all honesty, I think that its time to move away from the 1/4 cade scene. This pinball machine seems really nice but, I bet is expensive. My next move is to get the Atgames Legends Ultimate with the quad player control panel and call it a day. The iircade doesn't seem worth it. (Slow to release GOOD games and haven't been able to play online since feature was introduced.) Arcade1up is overpriced with low quality and the list just goes on from there with them.. I barely go to my arcade anymore. Everything happening with some of these companies have made the hobby stale. This includes the infighting within the community.
Well...I don't pay attention to all these little community feuds and clout chasing garbage youtube channels and that helps.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I try not to pay attention to these guys but they are EVERYWHERE. There's maybe 3 channels (yours included) I consider reputable.
Frustrating to watch. Would want to see your hands while playing in order to get an idea of the scale of the item.
I'm sorry I didn't show my hands enough for you. Thanks for the feedback. It's a very small device
9:00 shows his hands on the machine
