Anyone know if these have the additional tables to purchase like the Ultimate Arcade pinball?

No, but they can be hacked to add the tables from the other two to whichever you buy, so 30 games total. And for the record, this "deal of the day" takes them back to their original launch price after a recent-ish round of A1U price hikes.

Will any competitors price match because I want Attack from Mars & for some reason that one costs $70 to ship while the others are free to ship?

Decent deal, as these have been averaging $750 and have been as high as $900+ in recent months. Looks like this is a one-day sale that ends tonight.

Google for "Arcade1up pinball mystery encoder" and you should be able to work it all out. Smilie

To add on to what Shagbert said, you can also add more tables purchased from the ZenPinball android app. They aren't as easy to launch after you add them but they play great. You can find the tutorial all on Youtube (look up Kongs-R-Us)

The AtGames Legends Pinball isn't perfect, but it is a better machine. The A1Up is only 720p, and while that sounds decent, when you are standing right in front of the screen, the difference between 720p and 1080p is very noticeable. It also does not include a backglass screen.

While Legends Pinball doesn't offer Williams or Zen titles natively, you can OTG via a PC or Nintendo Switch (OTG'ing will lack a backglass as well unless you mod the Legends table and run from a PC with a solid graphics card). I really wanted to get the Attack from Mars table, but ultimately lucky when Best Buy sold out so quickly as this machine just isn't good enough. It isn't trash, but it isn't great either.

The A1Up 720p limitation is mainly a software-limitation. If you install the Mystery Encoder software, the table is capable of 1080p for most tables except for the Williams Attack From Mars ones which have some slowdown.

dont fall for this trash.... they were released at $549.. then increased to $599.. then to $850... then back down to $750.... and now "on sale" for $600.... which is still way more than when they were first introduced..

it uses plexiglass which causes waves on the screen.. 720p means jaggies everywhere... they are the android versions of zen and are not the full versions on pc/switch/xbox/ps versions. there are also no leaderboards

that being said the mystery encoder mod is the only way to go with this if you really really need to buy one.

Remember the Zazzle pinball machines from like 15 years ago? They were like $199 and real. These seem comparatively expensive, even all these years later.
