I think THE most important thing that this game has to get right is the building of tension and suspense just before all hell breaks loose. Getting the atmosphere just right is the key to the theme.

"Not bad for a human"... for when you get a high score.
Just re-watched the director's cuts of both movies in the last two days. Just reinforces what a dream theme this is for me, especially Aliens.
I don't think I ever noticed the heartbeat in Alien before this.

Quoted from Wickerman2:Spoiler Alert: this will get deleted but word has it they are using a Circus Voltaire-esque spring bobbly that pops up with Paul Reiser's face....bash toy.
Don't let them fool you, he's really an ok guy!

Quoted from guyincognito:Sigourney was always a fox. Even at 90 she's still looking good!

Quoted from Hazoff:I hope its GB's, would like Aliens to stay as generic as possible. Love the PF for this very reason, zero pictures of the cast.
Ghostbusters could be without Dana (in human form) and not suffer. Alien/Aliens needs Ripley.

Oh, man, I think that reveal video might have sealed the deal for me. Please tell me that is the actual sound and music from the game.

Where did they end up?
We just got one locally on location at Pocketeer Billiards in Buffalo NY.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:I had the same feeling when I attempted to play it in buffalo last summer (every game it broke). The thing is a piece of Shit. Didn’t see any reason to make a case about it, if you couldn’t tell it was a piece of Shit on your own it wasn’t my job to convince you.
There are STILL people here who don’t think it’s a piece of shit. And it’s still not my job to convince them otherwise.
That example has gotten better over time as the major issues have been addressed and fixed (new motherboard and latest code for starters). The only nagging issue is the xeno head, but that could be easily fixed by somebody with a 3d printer and a properly made gear (with a set screw to attach it securely to the motor shaft).
I still play it and enjoy it more than anything Stern has put out in the last 5 years, other than Iron Maiden.
