OP
Quoted from knockerlover:
9 months ago this journey started.. today, The “cointaker” prototype, that traveled to all the shows.. is finally a completely working game, just like the production versions.
Zotac PC replaced with “China PC” with correct mounting hardware and lexan cover
O/S and game code cloned to PC (v1.2)
5SMD tower GI bulbs replaced with Time bandits single LED GI bulbs
Later run Xeno head installed
Xeno Wiring harness duplicated and created
Jaw board code duplicated
Tongue board added with stepstik controller
USB and HDMI cables upgraded to low interference with ferrite chokes
I/O boards upgraded to 0.9 and “hacked” to bypass the circuit protection
Airlock Cliffy added
Metal jaw servo sourced and added
Thanks to everyone who helped us get to this point, I am confident that this community can fix ANY alien problem that may come to pass! Special thanks to TimeBandit for making his awesome LED products, Cliffy, Ulmpharmd, Ferret, Aurich, Joe Szabo, Daniel (Mats), and Matt at Backalley Creations. Hopefully I didn’t forget anyone..
Other accomplishments:
Beacons duplicated and installed
Translite duplicated and printed for both LE and SE
Playfield and Backbox displays sourced and installed
Replacement Facehuggers sourced and installed
Pop bumper alien eggs sourced
Xeno tongue board duplicated (but wasn’t needed)

None of us with games would feel the confidence that we do now with ownership of this fantastic title without you and your crew and all others that have chipped in and still continue to do so. Feels like a small family from different parts of the world!

Hey guys, I wanted to post here in this thread about a project I was helping out with that is Alien related. I recently met Brian Allen, one of the artists that did some work on Alien during the fiasco at Heighway. Like Aurich, Brian is a super nice guy and had some really cool looking art that never really made it to production or not in the form that was intended from what I understand. I had reached out to Brian because I liked one of the pieces that he had drawn for the game that was at some point an option for the back-glass on games without monitors. At first I just wanted to create some art for my wall that might be able to go into a light box, but now that I have it, Brian is fine with me helping him offer it to the community. Instead of just creating a translite, I have had the art reverse printed on acrylic for a much higher end look than a translite. (think of how Cirqus Voltaire back-glass is made...its acrylic or some type of plastic) These are available for order through Brian's website (https://www.flylanddesigns.com) as well as directly through me. I am planning on bringing a set amount of these to the Texas Pinball Festival for those that would like to cash and carry and save on shipping, but I am trying to get a rough idea on those that would like one. These are about 26" x26" and look amazing in a light box. I am going to attach a few pics as well as a sample video I did for Brian of mine in a light box I built. Feel free to reach out via pm if you would like one to pick up or would like one shipped. The price point on these is $200.00 picked up or 235.00 shipped due to size and packing costs. Let me know what ya'll think!

Here is a link to a video on Brian's site as I can't get my video to link due to size I guess...

I don’t have plans to make them as of now, but might could in the future.
