Beast Master (Zaccaria) on the AtGames Legends Pinball (004)

Apr 3, 2021

This is the fourth (004) in a series of quick gameplay videos of every licensed virtual pinball table available to play on the AtGames Legends Pinball machine, one of the most value-packed home systems. I'll play these in menu order (for the most part). This video covers the Magic Pixel release of Zaccaria's Beast Master, an electro-mechanical style pinball machine inspired by the 1970s.

        Update. Some early review units sent out featured arcade versions, which could not be produced at the last minute, so the home versions featured in all stores is what’s available. Sorry for any confusion. If there’s a future change, they’ll make an announcement. Thanks.
