I've wondered how long it would take for that to change in the gaming-nostalgia market, especially as companies like Arcade1Up produce and sell more multicade cabinets for home use.
The time for change is now, evidently, thanks to a handful of manufacturers producing pinball multicades. Arcade1Up in particular launched three distinct pinball emulation cabinets this year, each revolving around a different license.
Once fully built, this cabinet's tallest backplate gets up to 60 inches in height, while the default legs bring the flippers up 35 inches from the floor. These include twistable feet that you can adjust to even out the set's balance.
At roughly 65 percent the size of a standard pinball cabinet, the Arcade1Up version will more likely fit in your favorite playroom, though it looks better in isolation rather than sitting next to an official table of the era. Peek over the fake coin doors, and you'll quickly see where Arcade1Up's system differs hugely from the real thing: a inch LCD panel, offset by a significant bezel all around wood on top and bottom, aluminum on the left and right.
Beneath the screen, Arcade1Up relies on an Android-fueled SoC, which pumps a p video signal to the screen, along with an analog receiver for the plunger, an accelerometer to sense your real-life "tilts," and four solenoids that thump along with your gameplay. Two of them are positioned near the flipper buttons to replicate the sense of striking a pinball, while two fit deeper inside the chassis to replicate midgame bumps.
With the backplate attached and a single AC adapter plugged into a wall outlet, the machine is ready to rock. The backplate offers two crucial pieces to the pinball-emulation puzzle: a smaller LCD screen, which provides score information and midgame animations, and a pair of surprisingly robust speakers.
The backplate, by the way, is a printed poster that doesn't change regardless of which virtual game you're playing. January February March April May June July August September October November December 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Enter.
