Legends Universal Firmware 5.4 now out – TAITO Arcade Game Pack 2, virtual pinball updates, new leaderboard games, and more!

October 1, 2020 Posted by Bill Loguidice News No Comments

The latest AtGames Legends Universal Firmware update for Legends Arcade Family products running the Legends Arcade Platform, including the Legends Ultimate full-size home arcade and Legends Gamer Pro arcade control top, is now out. Here are the highlights for version 5.4:

  • New and expanded universal leaderboards.
  • Taito Game Pack 2 now available, which, when combined with Game Pack 1, totals 47 additional built-in games for Legends Ultimate 1.0 owners.
  • Legends Ultimate 1.1 and Legends Gamer owners now have all built-in games accessible and optimized.
  • pAOX1.2 featuring Team Play for The Leprechaun King.

You can read the full release notes and the rest of the details, here.

New Taito universal global leaderboard games added. Compete for an online high score (https://www.atgames.net/arcadenet/leaderboards):

  • Bubble Bobble – The beloved 1986 arcade platformer is back and lets up to two simultaneous players take control of small dragons, Bub and Bob, on a quest to rescue their girlfriends in the Cave of Monsters. There are 100 levels total of bubble blowing (and popping!) fun.

  • Qix – Pronounced “Kicks,” this abstract 1981 arcade puzzle game challenges you to draw lines (Stix) to close off parts of a rectangle to ultimately fill-in a majority of the playfield. You’ll need to avoid the titular Qix and persistent Sparx if you want to close off enough of a level to advance. It’s a tough title to master, but one whose unique gameplay keeps you coming back for more!
