You can stream the game by subscribing to Arcadenet. Basic Free Tier offers tasters with 10 titles, but with limited playtime and stream quality. You can unlock over 80 games for $20 a month, $80 for six months and $120 for a year, but the only thing on my eye-catching list was Ikari’s Warrior. You also need a proper internet connection to stream the game, and there are probably some delays.
Customization and expansion
There are several basic customization options in the Legends Ultimate user interface, such as menus and audio track background colors. You can also pick up a variety of accessories and add-ons, such as Quadplay, Marquee Screen, and Pinball buttons. You can also purchase side art panels or create your own. But it’s more games that most people want to add to ATGames Legends Ultimate HD Arcade.

The machine has two USB ports, but annoyingly, ATGames charges $100 to unlock the OTG (on the go) and allows you to paste the USB flash drive into the machine in its own (preferably legally acquired) game. It also charges $100 to unlock external applications. This is a shame as these features were free. Understanding what works is a minefield. There are many guides on how to add games, but most have outdated information, but it appears Atgames has been shrinking and unable to install Coinops X (I asked about this but haven’t responded yet).
It has an HDMI port so you can connect your own console (PlayStation, Xbox) or Android smartphone (if you have HDMI from USB-C), and use the Legends Ultimate screen and speakers. You can also pair the controls through some devices via Bluetooth. Otherwise, you will need an OTG USB cable. Atgames also provided the ability to stream games locally from your PC for free, but the links to the software you need seem to be dead.
To be fair, most alternative home arcade machines, such as the Arcade1up Pac-Man Deluxe, which I have tested, are much more limited than the Atgames Legends Ultimate HD Arcade. They offer a stronger theme with artwork and sometimes include controls specific to a handful of titles, but there is no way to expand without changing the guts and rebuilding the machine.
Ultimate, Legends Ultimate HD Arcade does enough to justify the price. Even if many of the games are dads, you’ll find some that you like, as there are 300 available to choose from. The controls of the two players were great and my family had a lot of fun with it. It’s easy to recommend. If there is space, it should be on a short list.
