If you prefer either Star Wars or Marvel over the other, that’s probably the direction you should go. If you find one for less than $600, get that thing in your cart as fast as you can.Īs to which one you should get, you probably instinctively know the answer. It’s a lot of hardware and includes a mixture of metal, MDF, and electronics, along with some great artwork. I can’t recommend the pinball machines at $800, but $600 is definitely reasonable. Since then, we’ve seen it almost always on sale for $600. But not long after, the price increased to $800. When they first came out, these pinball machines they launched in the $600 territory. If you’re wondering if you should buy one of Arcade1Up’s pinball machines, the answer is yes-if you can find it at the right price. If you turn the speakers all the way up, your neighbors will know which game you’re playing.īuy a Pinball Machine if the Price Is Right Josh Hendrickson / Review Geek I never go above a “two” on the machine’s volume scale of about 10 (it doesn’t display numbers), because it just isn’t necessary. They sound really good (though they could use a bit more bass). One highlight of the electronics is the speakers. Other digital pinball machines just use a second button for tilt, and that’s probably the better way to go. In practice, I had to really shove the machine hard to get anything to register at all.
Go too far, and you get a “tilt” which forces your ball to drop, and you lose a turn. In theory, you can whack it, and the game will respond accordingly. Arcade1Up, make that a persistent menu in the machine’s settings somewhere.Īrcade1Up also packed an accelerometer into the cabinet to emulate “tilting” the pinball. On a somewhat related note, I wish I didn’t have to choose a language every time I turned on the machine. The weak computer takes a lot longer to load games than I’d like, though, with each new screen taking at least a minute to show up. It’s not an eardrum-shattering noise, but it’s loud enough I turn the machines off when I’m not using them to avoid the distracting fan noise.
The second pinball machine is just as loud. I thought I might have an issue with my review unit, but after Arcade1Up sent me a new computer and I swapped them out, it still didn’t help.

It’s not very powerful (as evidenced by the 720p lock), yet the fan that keeps the board cool is surprisingly loud. It’s quite heavy, very awkward, and I nearly dropped it. And though you’ll see me flip the entire unit on my own, don’t be like me: get some help. You will need to turn the main box glass-side down to connect the legs, so I suggest getting a blanket to lay it on so you don’t scratch the system up. Your job is to build the upper box that holds the speakers and DMD (Dot Matrix Display), connect the wiring between the two boxes, and attach the legs. The main “box” housing the glass, display, and computer arrives already assembled. You won’t even have to build the whole thing. We’ve continually praised Arcade1Up for designing cabinets that are easy to put together, and that remains the case here. The good news is, putting the cabinet together is a mostly easy (if not tedious) affair. Get yourself a dolly and maybe a second person on hand. The bad news here is the box is super incredibly heavy. It’s not an Arcade1Up cabinet unless you need to do some assembly. Buy a Pinball Machine if the Price Is Right
