I bought the AFM 4K premium edition w/SSF kit installed and topper. I have been playing the table for nearly a month and have bought pinball packs from each of the companies available to purchase from. The only issue is the lag on tables that are slated to be updated, but aren’t yet.
Me and my family keep coming back to tables each day. Competition for high scores is fierce! Our unit gets between 1 and 3 hours use every day. The tables vary a lot by who they are made by. Our favorites so far are the Zen tables (AFM, Jaws, and Kong are our top 3) and the Zacceria (Robot Deluxe, House of Diamonds, and Strike Deluxe are our faves). The Zen tables have more modern appeal and well known IP’s. The Zaccaria tables play the best and sound the best. They look the most realistic as well and it is easier to follow where the ball is (better frame rate?). The natural history and Dr Suess tables are decent. Gottlieb tables are hit and miss in the packs. The TAITO packs are repetitive and don’t have much replay value.
The only improvements I can think of would be a quick add feature for initials on high scores (we have the same 3-4 people constantly having to scroll through letters). An option to have 3-4 people to save and choose from rather than manually enter for each player would be sweet. Optional purchases for increased internal storage would be awesome as well. I see us needing more than just the usb stick available at some point.
SSF kit really cranks and adds so much to the experience and feel. I wouldn’t want to play the tables without it. I did not get the arcade stick because I don’t plan on playing arcade games and the d pad on the machine is responsive and works great.
I have not tried OTG, but plan to eventually. For now, the available lineup is keeping us busy. Great product and a phenomenal value for what you get! Playfield screen and back glass display look amazing!
