Everything about it feels sturdier than the average Arcade1Up cabinet. While the picture quality is a bummer here, the build itself is quite impressive. It's a trade-off that's probably worth it considering the overall performance is so smooth.
Arcade1up pinball 720p#
The screen is actually capable of running in 1080p, but apparently Arcade1Up locked the games at 720p to keep the frame rate steady. Characters and obstacles are still easily discernible, but it did take a bit for my eyes to adjust to the image quality. There tends to be a lot of text on each game board, so this does hurt the overall presentation. All of this leads back to the 720p display, which muddies the on-screen text and dulls the colors. Though each of the 10 games works great without a hitch, there is a fairly sizable issue with each of the boards. The compact size makes Star Wars Pinball great for home use. Up to four players can take turns competing on each board to see who can rack up the most points. The 7.5-inch LCD score screen reacts like a dot matrix display, adding points and multipliers to your score in furious fashion as the ball clangs around the board. I've put in a couple of hours of game time on each board, and all of them are exciting in their own way. In this respect, Arcade1Up's pinball machines have an advantage over conventional tables in terms of variety. The machine is loaded with 10 game boards from Zen Studios' popular Pinball FX3 game, which you can also play on traditional consoles and PC:Įach of the 10 games features its own theme, sounds, and general layout, which truly does make the gameplay experience of every single board unique. Unlike Arcade1Up's cabinets, Star Wars Pinball doesn't replicate games from an actual machine released in arcades. Overall, the moment-to-moment pinball gameplay is very impressive. Solenoid modules create accurate ball feedback all across the board.
That said, Arcade1Up did an admirable job of making it feel like you're actually playing real pinball thanks to haptic feedback and sounds that provide a similar sensation. Arcade1Up's Star Wars Pinball is fitted with a 24-inch LCD screen that displays the game boards in 720p resolution.
Close to the real dealĪs a digital pinball table, you're not actually using the plunger to shoot a real ball onto the game board, nor are you moving real flippers with the press of the side buttons. While it doesn't offer a wholly authentic pinball experience, it's still a well-designed machine with lots of variety and a great addition to your home arcade.
For the purpose of this review, I tested Star Wars Pinball. Three models are available-Star Wars, Marvel, and Attack from Mars-each of which is loaded with a bunch of different digital pinball boards in place of a traditional pinball playfields. Much like it did with arcade machines, Arcade1Up has designed a digital pinball table that's both size-appropriate and much cheaper than standard pinball machines. That's where Arcade1Up's new virtual pinball machines come in. Regulation pinball machines are big, bulky, and quite expensive, all of which make them a hard sell for personal use in a home game room.
