Run through of the rules for Gottlieb's 1984 Alien Star pinball, and a quick gameplay with some strategies. Catch me live, usually Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at / borgdog
Thank you, borgdog for the great tutorial. You make it look so easy. We'll just see for this week's Thursday Throwdown. Wonderful table too! (pinballgramps)
Thanks! It is an original playfield I bought partially populated from TNT amusements 5 or 6 years ago that I did some minor touchup and clearcoated, then built the rest of the machine around it. I hvae no idea how long they had it out of a machine in stored, but it was in pretty good shape compared to most I see. Those new repros sure are pretty.
Your playfield could be one of the nicest originals out there!

Nice video! Is that an original playfield or one of the new repros?
