Withdrawn from sale ALIEN Pinball Heighway (2017)

[razorsedge]

Withdrawn - "ALIEN" Pinball by Heigway Pinball (UK 2017) 

 

May be sold with parts package*

 

No.: HP-AL-SE0065 which I imported from Netherlands 2019. Rare game to find functioning well as this one now does. Around 200 produced before the company dissolved. (Bought by Pinball Brothers - Parts Available)

This is a one off game, since standard Alien are not that fun to play. This game has been brought to more like what production 'should' have been. If you've never played the Alien Gamecode updated, and on a tweaked copy, you're missing out. This plays better shots than PB vers IMO. and has the most important feature for the way the AV is used which is definitely the PF screen, once you've tried it on a PLAYABLE/Enjoyable game, there's no substitute.

Tuned and modified with the Updated code, making an Awesome to play game, where the factory form really wasn't so great. Factory Trim copy of Alien is a bit disappointing, but this machine has mechanical and playfield anomalies ironed out, letting the game and code come into its own with the A/V show. Custom Jaw inside Jaw, on the Tongue. The code is Amazing, but nobody really got to play it.

Not selling because I don't like it, just the fact that I have two. That's how cool it turned out though, once the problems are fixed, will never sell the keeper. Parts are available, and has a strong community to support. This machines tweaks are in the pinside.com threads for Alien, look the thread up this machine is in there a few posts. If You HAVE an Og Alien and it sux ballz, I can probably Help you somehow!. If you're interested in one of the Custom Aprons made I have one of each to spare, one of them will go with this game (option which one, unless one is sold separate). (:

Also to mention the Bezel/Lockdown has a small kink as visible in 'Front' pic, their strapping coming from Europe :( . Could be safely straightened after removing glass I would say but I did not try.

Updates/Mods: Essential fixes and updates/improvements, and then some. Lane guide tweaks; shots work that did not before. Alien Head mechanically reconfigured for reliable bulletproof operation, as well as Teeth/2nd Jaw on the Tongue. Original slow beacons added (optional topper for standard). Heavily re-engineered; custom Xeno head mech gives proper mouth opening and closing. Cabinet cooling addressed incl. Duct-Covers, Fans, Cable management, computer relocation (under Ducting for convection). Machine brought to a standard of playability for operating or comps. Long player, not that difficult to keep the ball in play, deep rule-set (up-to-date after-production code; By Og Coder).

Includes some minor spare parts (LED/Facehuggers).

Optional extras not installed; Limited run custom (approved franchise artist) after market Apron (from USA), and/or, new replacement Playfield. Transparent Speaker Montings. 'Faust' alternate A/M apron w/lit 'ALIEN' art logo. Negotiable.

Surprised this hasn’t sold. 

After playing the PB versions on new code, I thought it’s a great machine. 
Can’t wait to unbox the 1 of 31 factory working original LEs. If he ever does. 
 

Great game.

It can't come into its own, the code and BD ruleset with the PF display, til the two or three shots get fixed by reconfiguring the ball/guide paths especially the Vent2 shot which is impossible in standard form. Also fix the head so it doesn't blow a PIC chip every time the servo/jaw gets stuck. I redone the whole thing and included counterweights and mechanical servo saver, so if jaw closes on tongue it does not matter.

It is going to sell. I'm sick of the double-up laying around.

 

I can not believe I've had ZERO as in ZIP offers in over six months. It's like people have become too retarded to barter. Not even a low baller. Go figure.

 

Nah, it's just because people used to (it is) a sht game to play in Stock Form really, like a hole in the head almost. The zombies don't know what they're missing once it's tweaked well! . Just like R&M. Nobody likes the copies of that which fell together in randomly poor ball-flow patterns. If that diverter is screwy, the game is unplayable. Spans from 'clunker' to 'best pinball I've ever played. R&M is the best pinball games I've ever played; after fixing all the problems. Out of the box it was one of the sh!ttest for ball flow and operation that I've ever purchased. I got a bad one, but made it exceptional (to play).

 

*Sorry scratch that, Seawitch won my most clunky purchase ever award. Fixed that by rigid diverter, loops both ways. Yay!
