AtGames Legends Gamer Pro

Good arcade style system at a good price ($99 at time of purchase). Build quality of the double player arcade stick seems really good. I had issues getting the control deck to connect with bluetooth and had to get 3rd party help on a discord server to help me get it working. AtGames customer service is very slow not very helpful. The games included are ok, but the main draw for this is being able to add your own games using the CoinOPSX app in the settings and an USB drive. This can connect to your internet using ethernet cable or wifi. (some wifi routers won't work correctly until you update firmware using ethernet port) This also has online multiplayer through a service called ArcadeNet. There is a free version, but it has never worked for me (says I have 0 play sessions left even though I've never played anything online). There is also a premium service for $20/month that gives you unlimited online play and a ton of extra games to play. Honestly, this seems like a very expensive service. I would probably try out the premium service if it was more like $5-$7 a month. You can purchase Pinball Table packs for play as well. They are a little pricey at $50 each, but comes with like 25-28 tables per pack. I would like to be able to test the pinball games, but I can't try them out without buying a whole pack. Overall, this is a really neat arcade style system and even better when you add more games. My 7 yr old daughter and I have been having a blast!

All in all the components are serviceable, but the Atgames UI and operating system leaves a lot to be desired. I used the deck for a home arcade system powered by a raspberry pi to get more of a all around arcade experience without the puck to bypass their ecosystem.

I have the Legends Ultimate Arcade 1.0 and have enjoyed it. I was able to get this at the sale price and now able to bring the arcade anywhere. Love the continuous products and support that is provided as the company continues to expand its portfolio.

Setup is a bit of a chore, especially when you consider that this device ships with outdated firmware that has Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Have an ethernet cable available for setup at the very least. Also, you'll need to pair the control deck with the box that connects to your TV, and it's kind of unintuitive, so make sure you read the manual. That said, once you've set this up, it's a nice little unit, assuming you can get it at a deep discount. There's a bit of input lag, but nothing that keeps you from playing and enjoying most of the games on this unit.

This is a solid and somewhat versatile arcade console with a few issues in its setup and execution. Straight out of the box this comes with about 150 games and some interesting features. The problem is that the setup is somewhat fiddly. Straight of the box you need a firmware update to take advantage of the online features. Wifi won't work out of the box, you need a hardwired connection to the console puck to do the firmware update. After that you should be able to pair the console decks over bluetooth, but this was also very flaky. Once you have both it should work pretty well, but I had the occasional bluetooth connection issue which seemed to be solved with a re-pair or console restart. ATGAMES has a paid cloud arcade and pinball service. They also have 4 free pinball tables on their site to try. The pinball games need to be run over the cloud service and depending on your connection can suffer from lots of latency. There is also an option to do a "local cloud"/remote desktop to your pc and run games from there. I haven't tried this option. It also supports coinopsX and UCE files from a usb stick. This is probably the best choice for latency free arcade gaming. It will only run retro games as the console wouldn't be powerful enough to run anything more. The stick itself feels great. Nice clicky buttons and the whole deck feels solid. The plastic cover underneath is a little flimsy but its not terrible. It also a straight swap with the cabinet version. The battery lasts a good while, but there also isn't a dedicated power charger for it. I also tried it in a few different consoles: PC - over USB - win10 recognized it and I was able to play games from the pc. Both decks were recognized and used. PS4/Switch - Not recognized over usb or bluetooth. PS4 saw the decks but was unable to pair them In USB they were just unresponsive. Also tried syncing with an 8bitdo bluetooth controller but didn't work. Overall, I'd recommend it with the caveat that the recipient is fairly tech savvy. Firmware updates seem to be a hit and miss, as they fix things they seem to break other things. So far I have not had issues. The only way you get the best bang for the buck is really to take advantage of the coinopsx or the addonx features to load your own arcade games. PROS/CONS PROS: - sticks seem to work on pc over usb with no issues - Community support....take a few minutes to learn how to setup the coinopsx on a usb - CoinOPSX and AddonX lets you run arcade games from usb - wireless 2 player arcade deck - local cloud support - Buttons and controls feel great and battery seems to last a long time CONS: - Setup - need patience, wired network, and luck - firmware updates - just review the change logs and community board to make sure it didn't break anything - Doesn't work with PS4/Switch - Cloud latency - Pinball is cloud only - lack of spinner compared to the cabinet version - pinball buttons feel less good
