AtGames Is Getting Into The Home Arcade Business
AtGames has built a bad reputation for itself as a company quick to capitalize on nostalgia with very cheaply-made retro consoles, using poor emulation and stuffed with bad games that never even appeared on the original devices. Now they’re entering the growing home arcade market………fear for your children. The company announced today that Legends Ultimate, an arcade machine of their own creation, will be available for preorder this summer. Features will include “a modern user interface, intuitive and customizable menu themes, network play, Internet connectivity, leaderboards, and cloud gaming streaming.” The majority of games available on Legends Ultimate will no doubt be the same cheap bad ones that AtGames stuffs onto its plug-and-play devices, for the company boasts “hundreds” of games will be included in the unit and that “among them” will be arcade favorites. Asteroids, BurgerTime, Centipede, Fighter’s History, Pong, and Tetris are mentioned in the press release and their logos can be spotted on the cabinet. They’re good picks, but they may be as good as it gets.
