3/27/2023 0 Comments Zaccaria pinball deluxe tablesAtGames will throw all future development to the VPX community as they've already been touting this idea of community profit sharing for original content.So I had some time today, and decided to purchase the Zaccaria "Enhanced Starter Pack" for my two monitor VPCabs "Vertigo" cabinet. There are game studios developing licensed digital pinball titles other than Magic Pixel and Zen (I don't count FarSight any longer as I'm pretty sure the Taito titles will just be re-skins of tables they already developed for TPA). You aren't going to see Stern titles on this, I can pretty much say with confidence. You won't download directly to the cabinet, rather to a USB thumbdrive you then plug into the slot on the cab. Probably be priced just like Zaccaria currently is. They also announced that there will be some tables devoloped around classic Taito video game licenses, rumor being 8 of them, and it is widely believed that FarSight is making them.Īs for price, nobody knows. They have already announced that 106 Zaccaria tables will become available this Spring (essentially all but the Deluxe tables). Last thing I saw was it's $20 a month to get those online tourneys and leaderboards. None of the reviews mention the cost, finding the cost on the website is not easy, especially because they advertise instead that it's free for the first month. This is where AtGames is going to make their money, the cabinet is just a loss leader into it. One thing I don't like with all the AtGames talk and their ArcadeNet and BYOG is nobody likes to mention the subscription cost. I'm much more curious about what these Taito license inspired tables will be, my money being on reskinning Williams tables they'd done in the past. Any further changes beyond basic support would require new product contract. Knowing FarSight, they were contracted for this, the software has been delivered and shipped, contract fullfilled. This is a port to Android of that build from what I can tell. These look exactly like what they programmed for Arcooda, and no the physics weren't touched. If you are a fan of Zen and of Williams, then the answer for that is obvious.ĭon't hold your breathe for FarSight doing any updates or corrections for the Gottlieb tables. If you are only going to use it with what is made available, then you have to ask how much you really enjoy playing Gottlieb and Zaccaria tables. If you are planning on adding a PC so that you can bring in many more games, then AtGames is the way to go. What you have to ask yourself is what do you plan on doing with the cab. I hardware on both AtGames and 1Up have been getting really solid reviews, so that's not an issue. (The mind boggles, though, just thinking about how good this platform could have been if FarSight had not lost their Williams/Bally License!) Otherwise, it doesn't seem worth it just for the Gottlieb tables. FarSight is promising additional original native tables at some point.īOTTOM LINE: This could be an incredible Pinball cabinet for the asking price if somebody can figure out how to run VPX tables on it natively. But those tables don't support the backglass or the haptic feedback. With the ecosystem and the WiFi connectivity you get Zaccharia tables and some (original) VPX tables. With the native tables you get backglass support and haptic feedback. However, only Gottlieb tables are provided in a native fashion. So that's all very impressive hardware for the $599 asking price. And the internal tables are all provided at 60 FPS, 1080p on a 36" table screen with a 15" backglass screen. First of all, based on the youtube videos, the TPA physics seem to have been finally tuned for challenging game play.
