dont forget you can get pinballfx 2 & 3 running perfectly on these machines with a pc addon... What a wonderful set of tables that includes!

there's a board to allow the backboard monitor to HDMI and getting a bitpixel completes the "look and feel" for a pinball fx 3 dreambox!

Just FYI, these boxes tattle on you for running your own games. It seems like they recently may have removed a requirement to call the mothership every 5 games played, but I have my doubts that its not sending that info, its probably just not as obvious about it anymore.

This is a cross-post from the ALU thread elsewhere here at SD.

Tl;dr, this machine (ALP) plus the optional controller hardware, gives you full pinball AND arcade gameplay for roughly the same price as just the ALU video console.

(Quote)

To muddy the waters a little bit. Sams also sells AtGames' Arcade Legends Pinball machine.

https://www.samsclub.com/p/legend...od25380329

Regularly $730, on sale now for $530, but reportedly on local clearance for ~$300 (YMMV of course, depends on your club).

You can sideload the same games on the ALP machine as you can the ALU, with the pinball "table" becoming the video game screen. You end up with significantly larger video real estate, as the table screen is ~15"W x ~26"H, where as the ALU display is 24" (diagonal). And, of course, its a native pinball table, which is a huge plus IMO.

IMO he biggest downsides to getting an ALP for video game play are:
- The ALP display is portrait (it's a pinball table after all), so side scrolling games will be squished. However, as the ALU has a landscape display, vertical games will also be squished - whether this is a problem depends on which type of video games you play more often.
- The table does NOT come with video game controls. If you want this to be a dual-duty machine, you'll need to buy their Arcade Control Panel [atgames.us] (reg $200, on sale now for $110, has been on sale twice annually for $99). This add a joystick, trackball, and 6-button controller for video game play.
- With the Control Panel, it's still a 1-player game. No simultaneous 2+ player options.

I paid full price in August 2021 and got the Control Panel during NOD that fall for $99. Have been very very happy with the setup. I play more pinball (70%) than video games (30%), so YMMV, but if the ALP is on local clearance, you can get it and the Panel for ~$400 if you're patient - and you'll have a ton of gameplay options.

Good luck!

Quote from minitraveller1 :
Love pinball, and tempted to order. How realistic is video pinball??? I've never tried. Not sure imaginary "nudging" is as realistic as real life! Smilie
Yes

The ALP has accelerometers to detect and react to physical nudging in two dimensions, and includes haptic feedback so you not only feel the reaction of the pinball to the table as it's bouncing around, but also to your nudging. I own three physical machines, two electro-mechanical and one solid state, and the ALP is a fairly faithful digital representation of what playing a physical machine is like.

It has its limits, but as a digital representation of a real-world machine, it's a damn fine approximation. Smilie

Ah, couldn't hold off any more. Been looking at the pinball for awhile now, at this price I'm willing to take the jump despite it's shortcomings.

I tried to get a price match but they said they can't unless it's shipped and they don't take rain checks on the discounted price. Anyone have this issue with them before?

For the ALP, it was another pinball table pack with like 7 tables (you get like 10 of the Gottlieb tables stock) and 3 months of Arcadenet+.

Haptics aside (which are important still....) - how's the video representation? i.e. am I looking at 8-bit blocks (not literally)

Honestly, other than the exciter rattle, it's been great for me. I did just buy the joystick add on which supposedly has the exciters mounted better.

I cancelled my order from a few days ago and reordered to get the lower price. I think it'll work

Hey guys before you cancel, If you go on Sam's website and do a chat you can request a price adjustment if it's been within the last 8 days. And they will give you the difference back. I just did it. I posted a deal a couple days ago for the 530 price that I thought was so great. LOL
