The Addams Family™ Standard Edition Cabinet

The Legends 4KP is the latest version of the Legends Pinball line developed by AtGames. The Legends Pinball 4KP (Standard Edition) features The Addams Family™ themed pinball cabinet and also includes the Zen Studios pinball table. In addition, there are 14 additional popular AtGames exclusive and Zaccaria Deluxe pinball tables that are pre-installed with the machine for a total of 15 tables (see here for a full list).

While The Addams Family™ themed cabinet is considered a Standard Edition cabinet, there will be additional Standard Edition cabinets beyond this cabinet artwork. Once they are known, I’ll update accordingly. In addition to the Standard Edition cabinets, there will be an additional category of Collector’s Edition Cabinets (or CEP’s). A CEP cabinet will be a limited-run machine, typically limited to 5,000 units unless otherwise specified. Once they sell out, that’s it. No more will be produced. At the time of this writing, no CEP’s have been announced.

That said, using the information for The Addams Family™ themed Standard Edition cabinet, let’s go over some of the primary features, such as:

  • Fast RK3588 CPU built-in – This CPU allows playing hundreds of tables developed by AtGames, Magic Pixel, Zen Studios, Gottlieb and others directly on the machine.
  • 32″ 4K Playfield – The playfield display can render images at 3840×2160 (4K UHD) resolution.
  • Large 23.8″ Backglass Display – The backglass display will allow you to see the table artwork easily on the large screen. Lighted animations occur to provide a realistic pinball experience.
  • Dedicated 8″ DMD – An 8″ dedicated DMD is positioned directly below the Backglass display and provides scoring and additional information during the game or when selecting a table.
  • 3.5″ Speakers – There are two large speakers to the left/right of the DMD.
  • Solenoids / Haptic Feedback / Accelerometer Solenoids are built-in to the machine, that is when you press the flipper buttons you’ll hear/feel the sounds of the flipper. Haptic feedback provides the vibration effect to simulate on-screen activity. The Accelerometer is used for physically nudging the table, just as you would a physical pinball machine.
  • Expandable – Should you wish to connect a PC, Steam Deck, ROG Ally or similar device to your ALP 4K machine, you certainly can. It can also utilize 3 different inputs for all 3 of the built-in displays. Connecting an OTG (On-The-Go) cable or USB-A to USB-A cable, you can use the ALP 4K’s buttons to control the action using the buttons from the machine. This allows you to run any virtual pinball package available on your Legends Pinball 4K.
  • New CE-4K interface – The interface has been completely redesigned to provide a more natural and easy-to-use experience. However, if you prefer a tiled interface, that option also exists in the UI Settings.
  • Topper and Builder’s Plate – Each machine includes a custom Topper to reflect the table theme as well as a Builder’s Plate which identifies the manufacture date and the unique unit number of the machine.

Q&A

Here we’ll discuss some questions that have been received about the Legends Pinball 4KP cabinets:

  1. What is the height of The Addams Family (Standard Edition) cabinet with the topper? A: It’s about 79″ tall. Also, the topper itself is 22.25″ wide and about 12.25″ tall from the top of the backbox to highest point on the topper.
  2. Can I use the cabinet without the topper? A: Yes
  3. Where can I find the videos and content for the Legends Pinball EVT (pre-production) model? Answer: you can find the Legends Pinball 4KP EVT page here.
  4. Is the original Arcade Control Panel (ACP) be compatible with this cabinet? Answer: Yes, the current ACP will be compatible with the Legends 4K series.
  5. Do the exciters work in conjunction with the solenoids? Answer: Haptic speakers and solenoids both work and you’re able to turn either off or both off through the menu.
  6. What is the refresh rate of the playfield display? Answer: 60Hz
  7. Will previous games / game packs be playable on this machine? Answer: Packs will be ported to Legends 4K Format to support (a) CE-4K OS, (b) optimized CPU/graphic power, (c) 4K playfield, HD backglass, HD DMD, and (d) SSF Kit data. They will be sold separately. HD packs will not run on Legends 4K Format.
  8. Is there noticeable latency with OTG? Answer: Answered in this video.
  9. Will any future pinball packs require the 4k model or will all future pinball packs work on the standard hardware? Answer: Legends HD and Legends 4K Format will not be compatible. All future first party tables will be released in both formats (Legends HD and Legends 4K).
  10. Is head tracking to subtly change the view of the playfield a thing in virtual pinball? Answer: (Jon: I’ve seen an Xbox Kinect being used to accomplish this type of effect with a PC for virtual pinball. More to explore on this at some later time)
  11. If you have the PC or other source that worked on the HD version, can you play them on this 4K version in HD? Answer: Yes, you can connect via OTG to the x3 HDMI Input ports + x1 USB 2.0 cable (OTG) to play HD tables on the 4K display (at 1080p).
  12. What is CE-4K? Answer: CE-4K is the complete redesign of the Legends ecosystem built from the ground up. At the core of this design, the focus is on an open and connected platform, providing the user with the latest and greatest features and games. Following the industry standards, CE-4K will require periodic mandatory updates to ensure the system is up and running at the optimal capacity while introducing new features, games, and experiences. Like other gaming platforms, Call of Duty, for example, CE-4K will notify the user of required updates and will prompt the user to begin the process. If the user chooses to delay the update, they can still enjoy their legends device by playing games locally without any online features. Once all mandatory updates are complete, the online system features will be updated and restored.
  13. Where can I find a comparison of the ALP HD and the ALP 4KP? Answer: Please see here.

Latest Updates

2023-11-06 – AtGames has announced additional changes that will be made to the Legends Pinball 4KP. Below is the statement from AtGames and render of the changes:

Dear Legends Arcade Family Products Owner,

Our design team has been hard at work refining and tweaking the final product and we have some exciting new changes to share.

  1. Updated Marquee – Included The Addams Family™ Logo on the back display now
  2. Light Up Topper – Added LED’s to illuminate the Topper (Yay!)
  3. Coin Door + Builder’s Plate – Moved to the middle of the panel

Helpful Tips

Below are some tips that may be helpful with your Legends Pinball 4K machine:

  • After I lose a ball, in a Magic Pixel table, there is an animation that appears summarizing the scores. Can I skip past this? Yes, if you press and hold the Left+Right flippers at the same time while the animation is playing it will skip it. You may need to take your fingers off the flippers and press both again once or twice. This also works with tables running on the Legends Pinball HD.

Where to Buy

The Addams Family Legends Pinball 4KP is the Standard Edition cabinet and artwork. Preorders are now going on for the Legends Pinball 4KP priced at $1,499.99.

*NOTE– There will be additional cabinets released in the future as Collector’s Edition Pinball (CEP’s) and limited to 5,000 units each – PR here. At this time, we don’t know what cabinets will be available, pricing, options, etc.

Below are the known pre-order/purchasing locations:

Accessories

Below are a number of accessories that are available for the AtGames Legends Pinball 4K:

1st Party

The following accessories are available directly from AtGames and additional authorized resellers:

  • Arcade Control Panel [ AtGames | Amazon ]- The Arcade Control Panel provides the ability to add 6 additional buttons, a trackball and joystick to the apron area of the machine.
Arcade Control Panel (ACP)

The Arcade Control Panel that you currently own, or purchase separately will work with the Legends Pinball 4KP. I personally installed and tried it. I’m able to navigate the tables using the Joystick in all directions. All button actions are: A=Start/Select, B=Back, C=Favorite, X=Navigate Left, Y=Navigate Right and Z=Scroll wheel. The default mapping could change prior to release, but this is how they are mapped at present.

  • SSF / Surround Sound Feedback (Kit) [ AtGames ] – The SSF kit supports the Legends 4K Pinball surround sound feedback feature. It simulates the physical feedback of a real pinball machine. That is, you can hear the ball rolling on the playfield, the bumpers and an overall more realistic experience. *NOTE: Parts used in the SSF Kit will come from multiple sources/suppliers to meet production quantity requirements, yet each will maintain the same level of QA standards.

3rd Party

The accessories here are available from 3rd party resellers and work well with your Legends Pinball 4K machine.

  • Magnetic Cup Holder [ Amazon ] – Without a doubt, one of my favorite 3rd party accessories. This magnetic cup holder easily attaches to the Legends Pinball 4K leg using magnets. It holds the drink well and is large enough for most cup sizes.

  • WIRELESS CONTROL DECK – Select this option when using a wireless control deck.

Health Check

Health Check

The Health Check option is useful if you want to make sure everything is functioning properly with your machine. Selecting the START button will perform a series of device checks. Follow the on-screen prompts.

In addition, you can perform the following additional checks:

  • SOUND CHECK – Please see here for more on the Sound Check option.
  • SCREEN CHECK – This option will allow cycling through the various colors and patterns to identify any dead pixels in any of the 3 displays.

Sound Check

Under the Health Check setting, you’ll find an option, SOUND CHECK. This option is ideal for verifying the Surround Sound Feedback (or SSF kit) has been properly installed. After selection of the SOUND CHECK option, you’ll hear a voice playing from the front speakers, each of the four corners and the bass shaker. The recording will repeat until all speakers are indicated and shown in the image (see below). This makes it an ideal option to ensure all speakers are functioning properly.

You can live stream directly to various social media platforms directly from your Legends 4K device. You can configure your Live Streaming credentials to allow you to live stream to Facebook, Twitch or YouTube. After assigning your account credentials from the QR code, you can select the associated Stream button under the platform you wish to stream to. While streaming, you’ll see a red indicator when the stream begins.


My Digital Locker

My Digital Locker

My Digital Locker allows you to check your Game Packs, Subscriptions and Redeemed code history. Once you’ve made a purchase from your Legends ID account, you can review and apply any table volume licenses. You have the option of applying the license to the Device or to your Account.

It’s debatable as to which option is best. I personally recommend applying the license to your Legends ID account. If you apply it to the device and later get a new machine, you can’t transfer the purchased tables to the new machine. However, if you associated the license to your Legends ID account –you can. Totally up to you how you decide to apply your license.

The Options include:

  • NEW CODE – Provides a list of new codes available to be redeemed. Once selected, you can REDEEM CODE ON ACCOUNT which is your Legends ID account or REDEEM CODE ON DEVICE.
  • SUBSCRIPTIONS – Identifies what subscriptions you are entitled to. Subscriptions include: ArcadeNet, BYOG Premium and Legends Platinum Owner Membership.
  • REDEEMED CODES – List of all codes redeemed against your Legends ID account.
  • GAME PACK – Lists any available Game Packs.
