BYOG for the win!

Don't listen to the nay sayers on here! The BYOG feature saves the console. You can 'bring your own games' quite easily. Plus, connect to your own PC either wirelessly through the wifi (and app), or bluetooth. You can also connect directly to the PC with the provided USB cable. I have 1000s of games now through Steam, Twitch, or whatever! As for the grumpies who have 'never heard of these [built in] games', so what! These are the original arcades from the 70s and 80s, preserved perfectly. If you get involved in the weekly tournaments, it makes it quite fun to play new, 'old school' games you wouldn't play usually. Arcade games are all about getting your initials at the top of the high score board anyway, no matter how original, weird, frustrating, fun, cute, or whatever the game is. Most of the built in games have a save and rewind feature. Making it easier to get farther than ever before. Although, if you are going for the high score, than you have got to see how far you CAN get on '1 quarter'. I bought this arcade 2 weeks ago, and liked it so much I went back and bought the upright Legends Ultimate. Please reconsider and enjoy. You wont regret it.

USB drive trouble

I have purchased two of these consoles with the idea of using the advanced features to play countless games from back in the day. This is the best console in terms of build quality I have run across, much better than a Pandora's box. That's what I was looking for, something that has the weight to stay put while playing with it sitting on the counter. It looked like the dream console for playing games like Donkey Kong, Defender, Pacman, Joust, etc.... BUT both of my consoles will not read a USB drive so if you are planning on using the CoinOpsX functions to play all the great games.....good luck. I am not giving up yet. Maybe I have two defective units?? If tech support can help me get that portion going, I will gladly up my review to a solid 5 stars, but for now much disappointment. This console is basically a giant wireless controller that I thought you would be able to access lots more games. So for now I have a giant wireless controller that has 150 average games. There are so many other consoles out there you can purchase that have thousands of games on them and include the good ones. This has Space Invaders and some Tetris games and not much else.

As long as you follow the instructions to prepare the USB drive, it goes into the console portion, not the wireless controller, and will work without issue. You can get extra support on the Facebook fan pages or by checking or various YouTube videos. Thank you.

With a bit of work this is a GREAT system!

I completely disagree with all the negative reviews. This is and excellent system for classic gaming in a small and portable package. True, the included games are not the best selection (although Space Invaders and BurgerTime are great), but the ability to add titles through CoinOpsX is fantastic. I have been able to play all of my favorites and the fun and nostalgia cannot be beat. There can be some input lag via the Bluetooth, but if you connect the control deck directly to the puck via a USB cable the controls are seamless. Although, since there is only one USB port on the puck, you will have to use a hub to connect your thumb drive and the control deck. However, you do not need a powered hub and this is still a very small footprint for everything. If you are willing to put a little time and effort into it, you will not be disappointed!

Great value for classic gaming

I'm not interested in the money grab features like paying to stream your pc games on it but for the reason I bought it, it's great. That reason is adding my own roms, which is not explained well and happens through what appears to be a third party app. There's also 150 games built in, mostly titles I have never heard of. Unfortunately, added roms do not integrate with the built in roms, and must be loaded off a separate menu. The panel itself looks great and is amazing, and the games play great, though I hope for an update to the firmware which will organize everything better and simplify operation of the davnaced features.

Thank you for the feedback. Kindly note that streaming games from your own PC is completely free with the ArcadeNetLink app. If you don't have a capable gaming PC, you can use our optimized Cloud streaming service, which provides a powerful server-based PC to play the most demanding games. As with any Cloud server, there is a (small) fee associated with its usage, with more service options to be made available in the future.Also note that the included wireless arcade controller is exactly that, a wireless controller. You can use it via Bluetooth or USB to play games directly on your PC (and other devices that can make use of PC controllers).

Great controller with games!

I played this at Sam's club for a little while and enjoyed it. I read somewhere that this can be used as bluetooth controller for raspberry pi and also used to link to the computer for Steam games. If so, I am sold! In fact, I bought it already.

Defective product

Never worked properly. Only one controller worked, and later neither one worked. Never able to play a full game before returning it. Great concept if it worked.

Not what I had hoped!

barely any games worthy of purchase... they need to do a better job telling the customer what all is in the product... plus the large controller is just not user friendly

Product details are on the website: https://www.atgames.net/arcades/legends-gamer-series/ There are 150 built-in arcade and console games, and you can play more via BYOG and ArcadeNet. If you want something more compact, the Legends Gamer Mini is a good option.

Exactly what I've been hoping for.

As a teenager of the 70s and 80s, I have great nostalgia for the arcade games of that era. The Legends Gamer Pro is a great platform for reliving my youth. The 150 games that come with the unit are not recognizable (other than Space Invaders), but the ability to install other games is what really makes this special. With the AddonX functionality, I am able to play my favorites: Astroids, Missile Command, Joust, Zaxxon and many more. The controls are just like an arcade machine and it really feels like being given a sack of quarters and being let go in a 80s arcade. Getting setup and learning to install my own games took a little bit of time, but there are tons of videos online to help walk you thru the process. By the way, most of the videos are for the Legends Ultimate, but it works the same for the Legends Gamer Pro.

Not at all what you think it is

This is very poorly described legacy game box. It's difficult to figure out how to play games (games you never heard of mostly) and the buttons/controls don't correspond to the inputs as described for each game. I've figured out about 4 games in a week (mostly) and the graphics are so poor you can't really understand what's happening. I didn't expect a PS5, but this is really poorly designed. Will be returning.

Sorry you feel that way. These are the original arcade and console experiences. Gameplay is explained before starting and then typically in-game.
