Wow - that’s a hell of a lineup! Definitely getting one to put in the office!

Dissapointed I missed the short pre-order window from Best Buy so I spent an hour this afternoon signing up for a Best Buy API account and writing a quick Windows service to check every 5 minutes for availability and send me an email as soon as it's available to order, otherwise an email once every 24 hours to make sure it's still checking

Hopefully not a disappointment, but at $600, a good track record on their arcade repro cabinets, and likely easy resale on this one (if it's not a total shit show)...worth taking a chance i figure

Thanks for the heads up. I pre-ordered. I'm a bit hesitant based on some of the initial reviews talking about REALLY blocky graphics, displays that won't turn on, whole tables that won't turn on, solenoids failing within days...but I figure I have 6 weeks before it ships to monitor more reviews and cancel if needed. Otherwise, I guess I'll end up with both a Star Wars and an AFM!

The application worked! Star Wars available for order with delivery by April 1 on Best Buy:

Good luck!

The Darth Vader game is a blast...maybe no pinball is fun when on a phone...?

any idea if you can backup what's on their now so you keep high scores? Say I wanted to swap back and forth between Star Wars and Marvel, for example, but keep high scores. Anyone tried it?

Just in case anyone else was wondering, you DO keep your high scores when you update the firmware and when you load all 3 sets of tables.

Before I post on FB Marketplace - anyone nearby looking for a modded (all 30 games) a1up? I have both Star Wars and Williams and would be happy to sell either one - I don't have any preference which goes and which stays. Just looking to get what I paid for it ($650, back before the price increase). Fees to pinside if sold, will put formal ad up if no immediate takers on here.

I'd have to say that on Williams games it's REALLY bad for the most part and flipper lag making those games unplayable is the reason I'm selling one of my 2 A1up's (I have one at work that will stay because it's just a fun quick distraction). The Marvel/SW games are really pretty good. There's still lag, but they're fun and definitely playable.

If, like me (at home), your thought was to have a way to kind of play a few Williams games you don't have at home, you'll be pretty disappointed. If, on the other hand, like me (at work) you just want to have some fun with the SW/Marvel/Zen games and separate the experience from physical pinball, I think you'll find it worth the cost.

I believe I'm on the latest (20210830 from October 2021)

But just to clarify/reiterate, if you are going in with the expectation of a casual, fun, arcade-style experience and understand that you are playing a $600 setup and not a $6,000+ setup, you should be very happy.

Also - my disappointment with the Williams tables should in no way take anything away from the amazing work that Mystery Encoder has done with the A1Pinner - I'd probably sell both of my A1up's if not for your great work to open up the ability to play all 30 games (plus some Zen games that are a good fit) in one cabinet. Kudos to you.
