I’m not even going to get into a discussion about the included games list on here out of the box because nobody who owns this machine should even bother booting any of those roms up. Speaking of which, my baby-boomer parents absolutely love playing Pac-Man and Centipede on this! It’s so simple to do that even my tech-resistant parents could probably set it up. Through the CoinOpsX app, which is officially supported by Atgames, the experience on the Legends Ultimate completely warps into that of a masterpiece. With literally just a small thumb drive, your 300 game multicade becomes a 1,000+ games retro beast. This is where Atgames is the undisputed people’s champion. The most important modification gamers are interested in (and rightfully so), is the game library of the cabinet. If you don’t like the plain marquee, you can buy the Super Pixelcade LCD modification which is essentially a first party product at this point in time as it’s heavily marketed by Atgames. Whereas Arcade1up cabinets have become a modders paradise, those units require a significant amount of effort and skill to tinker. These aesthetic things can be modded on the Legends Ultimate quite easily. It’s hard to not pit Atgames and Arcade1up against one another when they’re both offering products that every arcade geek has been dreaming about since childhood. This is one recurring theme that I find myself constantly going back to. The Legends Ultimate isn’t offensive in any way and will fit in next to any furniture you have around the house, but after seeing the amazing replicate adaptations from Arcade1up over the years, I do envy those aesthetic values for my own home arcade. I’m indifferent to the actual appearance of this cabinet and if I’m being honest, I wish it looked a little more appealing. I would have preferred a printed design onto the wood. The supplied screws to pin the decal down are quite weak though and easily stripped. It was most likely made this way for customers to be able to design and easily swap outside panel art. The decal included for the cabinet consists of a mishmash of classic arcade icons in a non-disruptive design. The side panels are plain black, however, Atgames does supply you with decal prints you have to screw onto the sides. This is printed on the MDF wood that the entire cab is constructed from. The Legends Ultimate then proceeds to list 15 prominent games from its roster on the lower card. My ideal perception of a cab usually consists of a boxy CRT display. While this can be adjusted with in-game settings to match the correct ratio for these classic games, aesthetically I do have to admit it looks a bit strange. If you’ve been playing on an Arcade1up cab with their 17 inch 4:3 displays, you’ll likely either love or despise the design choice Atgames made by widening the playfield with a wide screen aspect ratio.

The display is a rather gracious 1080p LCD panel that is 24 inches in size. Just pay the $549 sticker price and you’ll get 300 licensed games to play for perpetuity. Of course, you don’t need to do that here as this 2 player system doesn’t require any monetary insertion. That’s usually where us old arcade players normally gravitate towards as the universal line querying system was located there. A light up marquee spelling “Legends Ultimate” in what I can only describe as a 1980’s infomercial font is where your eyes take you initially. While it isn’t as bulky as a cabinet located on an actual arcade floor, measuring at 2.53 x 21.65 x 66.44 inches, it is nonetheless a domineering presence in any room. Unlike ¾ sized Arcade1Up products, the Legends Ultimate is essentially a full-sized machine you’ll feel comfortable playing on without a riser. The Legends Ultimate cabinet is a towering presence of retro flair.
