Hello, i'm new on board of the Nostromo and i want to thank everyone here for the great job that has been done on all aspects (software, hardware, schematics, mods ect).
This game is a must have, and i was looking for it since the very beginning. I'm now so happy to own one.

I'm a little bit lost in all the posts of this thread and looking for some alternative facehuggers for the slingshots, they're almost broken. Could someone help?

Quoted from TomDK:

So why give money for such a useless mod ... its just a pinball machine and it will play with or without a facehugger with a tail .. or no tail.
So read this thread .. I found on ebay some cheap replacement, does not look like the original but good enough ...

I don't find such cheap facehugger on Ebay, do you have a link?

Hello, could someone tell me how long are the usb cables that have to be changed please?
I experience some i/o disconnections when the ball is in the bumpers. Don't really know if it's really the electromagnetic perturbations or some physical perturbations caused by the bumpers movments ..

thx for the help

I put it here for the record, the bumper coil stop can be replaced by the early williams A-8143.

Quoted from Twister:

Me too, ordered and waiting for response with shipping cost. Still no answer.

The guy from Gameroom is back into business and I've just received the parts ordered last month.

New facehuggers are stonger than the ones i have in my game, leds and platics are ok. Only some rust on the metal plate of the Xeno front target.

Quoted from TomDK:

Mhhh ... the Alien remake folks get pretty new software.
Any chance to make this available for the original Alien keepers ?

It would be awesome, and they have added Ellen in some scenes, finally

Hello, i need some help please, i have no problem with my Alien HP since long (it has the latest version 1.4), but today i have no video on the 3 screens after the booting.
Everything is working, all the leds are ok and i can launch a game, but the 3 screens stays black.
Cables are ok, i have unpluged the dvi's and connected an external monitor on it, and i can see the booting and the american megatrend screen, then the kernel is booting, the game runs and the screen stay black.
I suspect a problem with the graphic system of the computer but i don't succeed to enter in any recovery or testing page when booting linux.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you

I've plugged an usb key to boot with linux systemrescue, the 3 screens are working but i still don't find the reason why they stay black when launching the game.
I've ordered a new computer @Alibaba to see if it works better.
