I’ve always wanted a pinball table – but needed to wait for them to shrink first. Well that happened – so let me tell you what I think of the Atgames Legends Pinball Micro. Is it enough to fulfil my ‘pinball dreams’?

Regularly asked question
Q) Why are there comments from days ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I’ll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early and before any adverts are added, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan

I would love to play my Zen Pinball collection on this.
But only with the 'booster' board' installed
I got mine for black Friday and yes I got the legs and it looks great. I'm very, very pleased with this. I wish I knew more about other table collections to buy more.
This is not related to this video, but I just received my Bluetti EB3A portable power station. And it is possible to switch the AC output between 50Hz and 60Hz. I thought of you, as it may come in handy in testing some overseas equipment. The voltage on my EU model is 240V.
Lack of a plunger is a deal breaker for me.
I’d be curious to see if i can hook up a Nintendo Switch or Retropi and be able to use the controls/buttons
You mentioned if you were just going to get just one full size one it would be a virtual one "with all the bells and whistles, hapticts, etc" does that mean it has physical mechanics in the case? Watching this I thought it was a real shame that it didn't have a plunger to launch the ball. I also thought it would be really cool to have real solenoids in the unit that fire every time a flipper or bumper activates. But I guess those would be more expensive features on a more expensive table.
I just had a thought: 3D is pretty much dead at this point, but boy I bet a 3D virtual pinball machine would look fantastic. You could get really advanced and have a sort of eye/glasses tracking unit in the back board to change the perspective of the 3D objects.
I love pinball!
No no not an lcd model I’ve got mine on steam and a huge screen. Nooooooooooo
What a wonderful review and overview of the Legends Pinball Micro.
Your production quality is absolutely through the roof outstanding!! Fantastic job – I love your delivery too: Smooth, knowledgeable and friendly.
What a great channel!
And for you to give my channel a little shoutout?? Thank you!! I appreciate you man, and I'm happy I have Subbed.
Look forward to watching your videos!
Thanks for making me want another thing, lol.
>>>>>> TILT<<<<<< Do they have a Tilt feature? I remember some earlier versions of Windows had Pinball Arcade with pinball games using the monitor and keyboard which was ok but not brilliant but brought back memories of when I was a teenager.
I'm seriously considering picking this up. We've got the room for a full size table, but I don't see using it enough to justify giving up that space. Something this small seems like something that could be set to the side whenever we're not going to use it.
Right, guess that's what my bonus is going on now this year. 👍😆
Well I didn't know I needed one until now 😂
Anybody who has a decent VR setup is going to have a blast with PC pinball programs that support VR. You get the 3D experience as well… if you have a headset like a Varjo Aero then the clarity is going to be close to real life. It's as close as you can get to the real thing without the real thing.
Id buy one just for that Bubble Bobble game alone. I knew it was only a matter of time until digital pinball took off. I really enjoyed williams challenge on Nintendo Wii and Playstation as well as Zen Pinball for Android.
I can believe you never had a pinball table!
Wild! I own a 1976 Williams electromechanical pinball machine, and it is an absolute bear to maintain. This looks so convenient!
This makes me wish 3D screens were still a Big Deal like they were 10-ish years ago. Having an image this clear with actual depth perception would be amazing.
