legends ultimate

Last year AtGames got into the home arcade business with the Legends Ultimate Arcade Machine. At the time of its announcement, we held a skeptical view on the product, given AtGames’ reputation and their history of badly put-together “retro” plug-and-play machines that filled the gift shelves of drugstores last decade. But ever since its release, we haven’t heard very many complaints. In fact, we’ve been hearing quite a few compliments. According to the video below, the construction is sturdy, the machine is simple to set up, the built-in library of titles is solid, and it is VERY easy to add more (officially and otherwise). Did AtGames finally get one right? Seems so. The Legends Ultimate is enough of a success that a European version is now being introduced to the UK market, courtesy of Liberty Games. The British model looks very similar to the US one, except with a slightly different lineup of logos on the front (it now advertises the fact that it has Genesis Aladdin and Lion King).
