MY BOYS!!! Always a pleasure to have you guys over for some pinball fun. My score is about the same as yours. Keep the show going and Zach, hurry up and film your GOTG pin so I can hear both of your reviews. Don't keep Uncle Larry waiting! LOL
So glad this reviewed well with you guys. As a UK pinhead it'd be so good if Heighway got themselves together a bit after a very rocky start. All the best fellas!
Always a pleasure gentlemen. Another great Show. Heighway has a lot of proving to do before they get my money. You kind of want a customer service department to answer the phone when you have an issue. But that is just me... Great review of the game.. Great show SDTM is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Jonathan Amusement Services of America
Good show guys Would love to see you review more late 80’s -to- mid 90’s classic pins. These days a fully restored classic is often approaching the NIB prices... Fill that scorecard up !
Great show and review guys! Heighway has to show me that 8k is justified though. That is a lot of jack for a durability question mark. I am a little gun shy though with all the "booteek" manufactures.
@@Vriess123 I ended up with the Pinball Brothers Alien. I got it back in September. Awesome pin. Pinball Brothers has been awesome with customer support.
@@Vriess123 I got o ne of the first 50 shipped into the 🇺🇸. It's been good. I had one of the node boards replaced because I didn't feel like it recognized a ball going down the in lane all the time. I brought it to the Houston Arcade expo for the weekend so people could play it. It help up great. Flippers are no problem. I think Pinball Brothers is bringing one to TPF next month.
Interesting review! I've played a few games on Alien at expos and was always put off by the durability issues that showed up. I love the horror/scifi themes, but I'll give this a couple of years of break in before I think about pulling the trigger.
Just watched. Greg you nailed this. I agree 100% with you. Music and call outs is a clear A+. Zach - Tron is not an A+ why? Music is great but a lot of the call outs are terrible. Don't miss Sig either - totally feel like I'm playing as her. Cost? Comes with 3 screens, built like a tank, has innovation, etc I think the cost is justified. Good job on the review guys - most thorough one out there. Keep up the great work.
I want to find an Alien pin to play someday. Looks fun. What is the real purpose of the small video screen in the upper left corner. It seems kinda useless. Wasn't that supposed to be a rotating platform where an Alien Queen was supposed to go? That would have been the missing toy you guys were talking about I guess. Love the show, hate the sweaters! JJ. -Mok
mokthemagicman that’s right Mok reign down the hate on the sweaters. Yeah screen shows different shot stuff which is actually nicer than the toy queen that it once was
I've really only played the machine a few times and it had issues. I think it has potential, but I gotta be honest, heighway leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully they can prove themselves.
Unless you played it recently, it was likely a Andrew machine, which is preproduction. The ones shipping have a new xenomorph head and mech, better cpu and other adjustments. I'd give it another shot when you get to see more production machines out in the wild.
Heighway and the whole game is a crap shoot! Lies and shady business practices. Games being shipped have absolutely NO QC and are just being rushed out to fulfill orders to stop lawsuits from continuing. Was an initial backer very early and still have no game where people just paying are getting them so they give no craps about early supporters. They are at the robbing peter to pay paul mark in business and its not gonna last too much longer before it catches up and they need to be bought out by another investor group
That looks like a bad ass pin, Alien is such a good theme for a pin.
Riz2336 very cool for sure hope you can find one to play at some point

dadofducks hahaha you’re the very best! Gotg coming right up for ya buddy
Great job guys. Another pin that needed some attention.
Chuck Smith as always thanks chuck!
How about a re review of the Ripely Edition since now its 7K ish new PLUS that Topper is literally the best in the buiss!
So glad this reviewed well with you guys. As a UK pinhead it'd be so good if Heighway got themselves together a bit after a very rocky start. All the best fellas!
8-bit Andy lets hope they keep it up. I’m ready for a Queen pin

Fill that scorecard up !
Chris Whitecavage I agree .......Zach does not ha ha but we will have a few coming out!!!!!
Entertaining show as always fellas! Waiting on the ugly sweater review show!
Dan Yatchyshyn thanks buddy. I’m gonna burn all of those damn sweaters. (Zach)
Damnit, now I want one :(
Great show and review guys! Heighway has to show me that 8k is justified though. That is a lot of jack for a durability question mark. I am a little gun shy though with all the "booteek" manufactures.
Jason Fowler that’s the reason I haven’t bought one too (zach)
Thing reaches out and grabs the ball
Philip Dixon yes it does! It is very similar!
It's funny how watching this now they are talking about how expensive it is when it's 10k now
For the love of god could Jersey Jack take over this Alien theme!!!!!! Number one pinball theme for me. Just re-skin this one and I am a buyer!
Yeah, it looks like a great game but Im scared of maintenance and parts support from a company that's not very well known
@@Vriess123 I ended up with the Pinball Brothers Alien. I got it back in September. Awesome pin. Pinball Brothers has been awesome with customer support.
@@keithciaccio7987 Awesome congrats! Hows the reliability been? Do the flippers feel strong enough?

The only bad thing is that they had to few video clips from the movies :( I would love jjp would have done Alien pinball.

rask4p given it time is a good idea. I worry about manufacturer support mostly
Spoiler alert: Heighway are dead
Getting that new pin itch. Houdini or Alien?
Toby Bowlin I personally only have purchased one of the two
Yeah I disagree, the pin looks great without Sigourney and Im a huge Alien fan, it is what it is they couldn't get her onboard I guess.
So close to 1k!
Mitchell Rossman man I knowwwwwwww
Straight Down The Middle: a pinball show They hit 1000 and i unsubscribed! I need to book a session with Zach to see why. Lol
EquipmentReviewer you ass!!!! Sorry that wasn’t very clinical haha
Straight Down The Middle: a pinball show lol i could only stay unsubscibed for an hour or so! Im hooked, congrats on a 1000 subs guys!
EquipmentReviewer hahaha thanks man
Game looks awesome! I love more Alien comics than movies so I´m with Greg who needs Ripley!?
theSammyM333 cmon Sammy!!!!! (Zach)
about to watch and your subscriber count is 999! 1 more to go!
delt35 ha ha we hit 1000 then some one unsubscribed. I’m blaming it on Highway lol (Greg)

delt35 thanks For the support delt! We give each other shit on Pinside but I wouldn’t have it any other way buddy (zach)
agreed. you're one of my favorites on there. Always enjoy hearing your opinion (we agree most of the time!)
The cost much be high as it's a uk pin. The uk has to pay 8k for usa pins
frankie1g2 yeah I believe it comes in around 8k here in the states. So not cheap
The sexual tension here is killing me. Just kiss already.
cpi23 hahahaha ooh lala

turbografx7 can’t argue with that

Who designed it? WHO DESIGNED IT!? *frumps* :)
Eala Dubh Dave Sanders hahaha that was my fault (zach) didn’t do my homework and Greg ate his homework
Eala Dubh and apparently you?! Black Swan you should have told us we would have loved to interview you for the review!
Haha, somebody knows their Celtic. :)
I'm flattered, and sure, I'd still be up for an interview in another episode.
Eala Dubh Hell yeah we would love that! Thanks.
