Goettlieb tables out of the box were already an issue as far as content worth playing, but adding exciter speaker issues makes it difficult to play the ones that are good tables. Also, they don't look quite as sharp as the Zaccaria tables. They are right the add-on capacity is substantial over the Arcade1up and the Wifi is great (I've had speeds of excess of 100 Mbps). Without Zaccaria, however, this table becomes more a pinball monitor via OTG. It has the size, but the Goettlieb content is underwhelming, about 30% worth playing. With Zaccaria, it is almost overwhelming, the number of good looking tables to play.  They didn't give enough props for the 1080p over 720p, specifically regarding the table instructions and most of the wording on the table itself being legible. That is a discrete, but important touch. Logging in, yeah, putting input it is a pain, and it was disappointing how the table menu can't be better organized, but that is more First World problems. The backglass, is one last hurrah for the AtGames. Seeing scores on the back glass and even the High Score on some tables is a very notable plus!  It is smallish, which takes a little away from it, but overall, having the backglass images and scores is very nice. Even if a number of Zaccaria tables run over their room allotted for the scores. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />I disagree the speakers aren't good.  Seem fine to me. A1up could very well be better. My one complaint is the instructions are very good for assembly, but don't go into details regarding the volume controls, with there being effectively three sets of volume control!  Once I figured out the menu volume control was the master level volume, it was easier to control the sound. My one huzzah reflection is that you have to buy stuff on the website and put in a code to download, which means I don't need to worry about my kid buying something!  If someone bought this for Goettlieb, they'll be used to disappointment, so they'll be fine. Otherwise, I think the pros definitely out weigh the cons.</blockquote>
