If Alien was built and supported by JJP, Stern or Spooky that would be my choice but Heighway is too much of a Trainwreck to consider buying a game from them right now.

Between the other 2 I have a decent amount of time on production games. Both are great games but for me TNA is the more addictive game and would be the one I'd be most interested in buying. It also helps that it's $1000 cheaper than Houdini too. Houdini is pretty packed and a better value than JJP or Stern LE/Premium games though. In a really small collection I'd probably go with Houdini but in a mid to large size collection I like the variety and fun that TNA brings.

20:36 to be exact . Pretty cool that the game keeps track for you. I still only have 4 games on Houdini so I don't really have a good baseline yet....difficulty reminds me of a 90s WPC though or even DI. Magnets can screw with you but I didn't get many cheap drains like some of the Borg Stern games do.

On the contrary I don't find TNA to be that drainy or brutal either as long as you play smart and in control. Don't shoot anything except the Danesi locks unless you are in multiball and shoot them from your backhand whenever possible and you'll do well!
