Got to play a dozen games on this when I was in town last week and was pretty blown away. I can't help but compare this to WoZ (both first games for a new company and wide body games) and I think FT is the clear winner. The shots are great like everyone has already mentioned and the game has that "one more game" feel too. It can only be better with the fiber optic ramps.
Really hope someone in SE Michigan will put one on location. Considering saving up for Alien and then buying the FT playfield to swap in.

Quoted from Whysnow:

I also woudl suggest buying the FT game so you can play it now and then swap in the Alien PF once that kit is ready.

I would do that but I'm going to be out of town more or less until the fall and won't have too much time to play at home until then. Also still saving up money, never bought a NIB game before but I'll probably sell a few games I've had for years and be set.
I wasn't that crazy on the trim/lockdown bar/frame on the game, hoping it'll look better on Alien. It was the only thing on the game that looked cheap. I guess it won't be for sale until the second game is out but I wonder how much it would be just for the FT PF.

Hope to play this game again soon, and really looking forward to what Heighway does in the future.

I think I'd like the black powder better too. The frame was really the only nit-picking I could do! Game played great and was tons of fun. For all you in Madison you're very lucky to have this on site! And at a pretty cool bar too.

Good news on the pf price, for under 10k you could have two brand new pfs and one brand new cab. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Just curious what was the high score? Dream of playing this game still, a dozen games were not enough! Wish I lived closer

Are planning on getting Alien? Don't know if it will be released by then but I'll be back in town in mid November. Looking forward to going to Pooleys again, hopefully I'll remember my Packers shirt this time.

Is there still a Slugfest at Pooley's too?

Quoted from Zampinator:

Come on up to Gaylord! I was in early on an Alien LE, you can play mine.

Sounds like a plan! Did you sell your FT?

#182 7 years ago

That's a shame! Slugfest fit the vibe of that bar so well. Are you selling it by chance?

Quoted from Zampinator:

I traded it. The only reason I did, is I am getting a Full Throttle LE kit to go in the Alien cab. That's the beauty of the Heighway system! But I do miss FT a lot! I can't wait to get my Alien & my FT kit!

That sounds perfect, I'd love to have the same setup.

Quoted from Whysnow:

sorry, already sold.
As much as it fit the vibe, nobody played it. I think I spent more on baseball cards than what it brought in on coin drop. Seriously, like $10 in 5 months, lol. Made no sense for me to have out a game like that taking up space. I had hoped the kids woudl start playing it with baseball seaons but I think the brewers stink so bad this year, nobody cares about baseball in WI anymore.
Hoping ICB will have a slightly different fate.

That's a bummer to hear, my friend and I probably put $10 in that game the one day we were there last fall! Hope FT is doing good for you guys.
