I got this for Easter and I couldn't stop smiling since I have been looking at arcade cabinets for several years now (either buying or building). For the money, it's a great machine that comes with add-ons that would cost much more if you would build it yourself. The 2 spinners work great and spin very easily, the trackball is pretty decent and actually tracks very true and straight, the buttons are just as good as any Happ knock-offs you can find, and the joysticks are just as good as any Sanwa knock-offs you can find. The side art is tasteful and I'm so glad they did away with the vinyl screw-in and went back to the wrap. The light-up marquee is also very nice. It's not too bright but well lit all around and I don't notice dull spots. The games that come with it are decent. There are 300 pre-loaded on it. Some arcade and Atari console games. Everything that is pre-loaded runs very smooth for all of the games I have tested so far. However, the games list is... well... lacking. I understand that from a copyright standpoint and they have to pay for all of their games they have, so I have no problems with what they selected. To be honest, much better value than any Arcade1up. Speaking of Arcade1up, the AtGames unit is perfect height being a full size machine. I'm not hunching over to play and for me at 5'8" it's perfect. My 6' son has no problems playing it standing either. For that alone, I just could never get myself to buy an Arcade1up. Now, where this baby really shines, is loading CoinOpsX and uploading a very "Saucy" image. Just follow the instructions from "Patton Plays". His "How to use CoinOpsX on the Legends Ultimate Arcade and Legends Gamer with Flash Drive X (Tutorial)" YouTube video walks you through step-by-step. You just need a PC and a 64 GB flash drive. I used a 128 GB Samsung Fit Plus since it's low profile and you don't even notice it plugged in. Once you load this image into your machine, you need to load CoinOpsX every time to play. The wheel on that image feels like a Hyperspin machine and it really makes it fun to just go through the games with the preview videos. Now, remember this machine is just a basic SBC (single board computer). Even a Raspberry Pi 3B+ is more powerful than this. So, temper you expectations if you want to run heavy 3D games, new games, etc. on this stock machine. However, what I love about this image, is it doesn't break the OEM machine and I can still use the AtGames part and update the firmware, etc. If you want to mod this thing and slap a PC, Pi, Odroid, etc. in there, you can do that too. I tried with the USB and it booted it up perfect but I couldn't get the both P1 and P2 joysticks to work at the same time with the BT. I don't want to splice the wires like Retro Ralph did so that is why this image is perfect. If you are on the fence about this machine because you are not sure if it's good enough or not, take it from me that it's worth every penny. I was playing Golden Tee 2K on this last night and it works flawless with that image. The controls are already set up out of the box. I hope that helps. I know this machine helps makes me smile when I walk into the basement each night.

I bought the Legends Ultimate cabinet and owned it for approximately 35 days before it went totally haywire and became unusable. And what I mean by unusable is the system would intermittently freeze, the controls became unresponsive, games would think that buttons and directions are randomly being pressed when nothing was being touched...etc...I did a factory reset, firmware update, power cycled repeated times, signed out and back into wifi with absolutely zero luck. Thankfully Sam's Club approved my return and is issuing a full refund however packing this beast back up for shipping is a totally different nightmare in itself. I should also note that prior to the software crash with the system the plastic shield over the screen started to come off with the glue failing along the bottom corners and in the center. Overall just extremely poor quality for a product which costs $500+ dollars. My advice is to stick with the newer gen Arcade1Up cabinets or if you are feeling adventurous build yourself a home arcade cabinet.

Very easy to set up but a bit disappointed with the onboard game selection. The good news is that I hear its pretty easy to add more popular ROMS. Limited onboard storage too, so I guess external storage (a USB drive) will be required. Still researching...

My review: Bought two. Both had issues. First one the player 1 controller stopped working after two weeks. Customer service was great but parts were backordered so we returned it to Sam’s Club but immediately ordered another one. It arrived and worked fine for an hour then all controls became non responsive and it was locked in Bluetooth pairing mode. Spent hours googling how to fix it but nothing worked. Packed it up and returning it to Sam’s Club today. The units are awesome when they worked but after getting two defective units we are not going to buy a third. Several of our friends were about to purchase them but changed their minds after our experience. Again, customer service was great and did reply promptly and professionally. We just ended up spending more time packing them up and returning them that actually playing.

I was so excited to get this machine and put it together. Had to wait to play the next evening and the main A button on the left controller stopped working. Then I start reading about warranty and it is only 30 and the customer is responsible for shipping!! WOW!! If I hear back from the Atgames team we will see if I keep it or not.

I bought this over a month ago and when I set it up, the WiFi gave a MAC address error that made no sense for a new machine. So, to even play the thing, I had to skip all the setup and play the installed games offline, which is the only reason I’m giving it more than one star, because the games are fun and the controls feel good. Naturally,I contacted support right away and uploaded screenshots, etc. After waiting nearly a month for a reply, they said they’ve been overwhelmed and didn’t get a chance to even download my files from the WeTransfer service, so I had to do it again. After uploading again, I waited another week for a response which was to do a factory reset, which I promptly did. This time, it got past the WiFi issue but as I continued setup, the login/registration site is fundamentally broken on all devices and all browsers that I tried. If you login with a user id & password from a previous registration, it tells you the password is wrong. When I clicked “forgot password” and entered my email, I got a screen that said “something went wrong”. I then attempted to create a new account with a different email, and the “register” button did not work at all. Note, I tried this on my PC, android phone, and iPad with all available browsers on each and got the same behavior so it is their site that is hosed. So, even though I got past the initial error, more stuff is broken and I still have a $600 brick, essentially. And my 2-month ArcadeNet trial is already one month used. I had high hopes for this machine, and still do, but would not recommend this until they get their setup process fixed end-to-end.

Probably THE most flexible and open gaming platform on the market today. If you love mixing retro gaming with the ability to add the latest and greatest this is a great project. Easy to assemble and a great community. At this point I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

Excellent hardware for the price. Includes 350 games (though only about 150 are arcade titles.) The included Blast adds 10 or so of the most popular classic arcade games as well. It's online connected which allows you to play your Steam games (free local play coming but not yet available) and a separate subscription service of games that are streamed to the unit. Halloween weekend AtGames released software to permit sodeloading of Mame2003-plus and Genesis ROMs via USB stick. I've tested about 50 ROMs so far and they are working well. With it's online functionality and if AtGames continues to support the unit, this could be a real winner.

Set up and build are easy. Two people make it a breeze. Sturdy, graphics look great, games are retro and soooo fun. It is top-heavy, so strap it to the wall with the included anchors. Time is the test and it remains to be seen as to its reliability. So far, so good. Use a computer to register your account. Fun for kids and adults alike.

I finally got one from SAMS. It came with no damage on the outside of the box. I un-packaged it and found no damage, so I put it together. After a couple of hours I had it put together. I powered it up. The lights came on but no monitor. I took it apart and rechecked all the connections and still no monitor. What a bummer. Back to SAMS I go.
