Once we started taking things out of the box the first thing that struck us was the build quality – it totally blew our expectation, with the whole thing feeling and looking superb! From the cabinet to the backbox, artwork and buttons, to the polished steel lockdown bar, legs and side rails, this thing oozes quality and is almost as good as a real commercial pinball machine, minus the cost ( relax, we said “almost”! – Ed). We noticed that the pinball machine and all of its parts to put it together were perfectly packed, minimising the chance of damage while in transit.
We’ll gather our thoughts & tell you what we think overall (soon-ish)! #pinball #gamer /42ZXejHQM1 Loving our Attack From Mars pinball machine so far. When we stumbled upon the Arcade1Up pinball machines, we ended up procuring the Attack From Mars machine, which surprisingly arrived on our doorstep a mere 48 hours after the purchase! Upon delivery we were taken aback by the size of the box, we somehow visualised a 3/4 sized pinball machine to be smaller than 3/4 – crazy hey!
While suffering insomnia one evening, we did what anyone would – we hit the web for some late night shopping ( beware of weekend night-time shopping! – Ed). We naturally gravitated to the Attack From Mars pinball machine, not only due to owning the real one, but the fact that it came with 10 of the greatest pinball machines of all time – Attack from Mars, Fish Tales, The Getaway: Highspeed II, Junk Yard, Medieval Madness, White Water, Red & Ted’s Road Show, Hurricane, Tales of the Arabian Nights and No Good Gofers. At the show they announced three pinball machines, Attack From Mars, Star Wars and Marvel, each packed with themed pinball games from Zen Studios’ Pinball FX platform. When Arcade1Up announced at CES 2020 that they would partner with Zen Studios to create 3/4 size digital pinball machines, our interest was piqued big time. + 4 x Solenoid modules for real ball feedbackĪrcade1Up needs no introduction, as their 3/4 arcade machines of iconic arcade games have proven to be quite popular with gamers and collectors the world over. – Price! The sweet spot would have been sub-$1,000 (AU). + Haptic flippers for real flipper feedback – No Internet connectivity / No way of updating with more tables (right now) + Packed with 10 of the greatest pinball machines of all time

– The lag in White Water makes it totally unplayable (this was fixed in the latest software code update!) + Compact size makes it fit in all kinds of spaces + Build quality is AMAZING! The Cabinet and Backbox are glorious How good can these digital pinball machines be? PROS Where digital (aka: virtual) pinball has always fallen short is in the physical and mechanical feel that real pinball machines provide, but that gap has somewhat been bridged, with digital pinball machines being fitted with solenoids and haptic flippers to provide the player that real tactile pinball feeling. Heck, we love pinball on any platform, including in the digital space. We love playing our real pinball machines.
