I was at Pinball Wizard over the weekend. Honestly, made the 4 hr trek with the purpose of playing Full Throttle and the Walking Dead LE.
I was unable to get a real feel for Full Throttle the first few times I played. The reason.... Complete lack of rule knowledge!! I watched Bowens tutorial to get a feel for the rules and played again. Night and Day. The game has some fun stack ability and earning gears, and races add to the enjoyment and ruleset. Really is a blast even for a guy who is not at all interested in the theme.
I played a ton of games as I am planning on buying (or hope to if everything progresses well) an Alien.
Game has crazy good flow and is really fast. Build quality does not feel cheap at all. I love the LCD in the playfield and when used in a game w movie capability, or more animation I bet it will be really impressive.
My only concern: While I was there the game had to be re-booted because it froze. I read a post earlier up in this thread about the game being down during league play.
Anyone else who owns the game have any software glitches like that?

And I can attest to the quality of the arcade. I drive a long way to hang out there for the weekend w my family. Sara is a great person and is great to talk pinball with. Not sure if i had more fun playing pinball or talking pinball w Sara? She is an A+ person. My wife and I were starting a game of KISS and she came over and cranked the volume for us. We may not have set any scoring records but it was a nice touch to have your own concert going. It was a good move because we slid more $ in just for the music.

The info on reliability and tweaks needed was very helpful. I have never purchased a NIB before and I am 90% sure Alien will be my first NIB purchase.
I should prob ask this on Full Throttle thread but has anyone talked to Andrew about parts availability?

Thanks everyone.
