I got to play Richard's Alien Pinball machine. I asked him some questions about his experience with it so far. This is his honest opinions.

Honestly This is probably the best most concise video you have ever put tgther

[@tntamusements]

WHO is giving you these thumbs down, Cary??? People who hate good content?? GREAT video! Loved it...and this ALIEN Pinball looks really good!!

[@CaryHardy]

The same people that give you thumbs down too. Haters gonna hate!

[@computerjantje]

I gave it a thumbs down as the video started to feel more and more like just an advertisement instead of a balanced 'buyers experience'. I stopped it at 9 minutes when I was really fed up with it. It might be a cultural thing as Americans are used to watch nothing else but advertisement but in my culture the hate of advertisement packaged as something else is huge.

[@CaryHardy]

@@computerjantje Thank you!

[@Utubereefer]

I wish you did more videos like this

[@michaelj.kastner5165]

WOW - You Killed it Cary !!!! You keep getting better and better!!!! This guy was an excellent guest!!

[@DRI374]

The Xeno is a non-issue at this time, v2.2C grabs the ball 9/10 times instead of failing 9/10 times. PB Alien is GOTY, you heard it here first.

[@jonnyeh]

Where'd you buy it from? You're in NorCal right?

Fantastic intro man! Loved the call outs, game play shots, and brief house walk through

[@brado426789]

Great video. Being an Alien Pinball machine owner myself, I think I can agree with everything said in this video about the game. I absolutely LOVE IT!

[@robross7991]

This is on my Top 3 list for games I want. Great video - that guy knows his pins.

[@Wolfanoz]

Great review Cary. Glad to hear the PB are responsive to issues as well. Played this at Allentown a while ago and the issues sort of marred it but it was Heighway then.

[@jlarsson1978]

Really liking this kind of coverage, good job!

[@TiltingT]

I've played the Heighway version several times and the Pinball Brothers edition seems to have really polished the game out.. Look forward to playing it and seeing how much better this version is .. Great video and insight into the game. Have a great weekend pinheads!

[@BoogalooBeet]

Very well done Cary. Those beautiful chrome ramps and smooth and shiny playfield just look gorgeous to me.

[@russellgentile4719]

Cary, a beautiful video. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing your experience with it too.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@pegasisilver6249]

Great showing (rewatched). Having a sensible owner describing the game and quirks. Really enjoyed it. Thanks,

[@mikenienow1830]

Getting mine on Monday. Can’t wait!!

[@Railoffroader2]

This version is a vast improvement, but I did like the physical appearance & back box of the original.

[@blueriverlore]

Very nice video. I'm in touch with Melissa at Cointaker and on the list for the LV version. Pinball Brothers will be making an announcement on Sept 24th about the LV and will start production shortly afterwards. 'Catch ya on the flip side'

[@t.c.bowling1934]

That looks like a nice pin! Glad another company took this over but a huge slap in the face for those who failed to produce.

[@touchingevil2302]

Best review of a pinball. Fantastic video, please do more videos lile this.

[@richm.7373]

Thanks a lot! Now I want one! 🙄 Great work as usual Cary! Too bad there wasn’t some gameplay footage with sound on this too. ☹️ Thanks for all you do in this hobby, much appreciated. 👍

[@CaryHardy]

I'll have that when I do a follow up on MY experience with it.

[@camilo9471]

Wow! Great video! This pinball has an amazing underplayfield with all those chrome mechs, that clean and neat wiring and... I can't see any mechanical switch, very impressive and different to other manufacturers.

[@rwiski]

Good eye. It has mostly inductive switches below the playfield

[@flyfalcons]

Rodeo Goat and Cidercade are the best parts of my stops in Dallas!

[@rwiski]

Rodeo Goat has a burger that is my favorite in the world called the Bodacious

[@HansScharler]

Thanks for sharing your buyer's experience. What mic are you using? Sounds great!

[@CaryHardy]

Blue Yeti

[@SDTM]

Very very nice video Cary

[@arkadiuszmazur5386]

Somehow these modern pinballs do not appeal to me. But in such a TX-Sector or T2 I can play endlessly 🙂

[@brunogaspar3977]

Another great video from Mr. Hardy! Waiting for this game for a long time! I was entering the list for Heighway when disturbing rumors stopped me from money transfer…good decision! I just hope Pinball Brothers can get a distributor in Spain like they told me by e-mail!

[@marshgatelaneposse]

Great to see this

[@bheasy1]

Good ol Richard Whiskey 🍻

[@CTRL_CV]

Has your opinion changed since you made this video? Any long term updates?

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

had chance to play this game at local Golden State pinball festival and loved it but super hard game! Also prices way too high now.

[@pegasisilver6249]

Seems like a good buy, esp since stern upped their prices.

[@Srt8Adam]

Looks sick

[@vinylsolution2522]

Great video.

[@chrisbcn1977]

Great machine !! Knocker coil is missing 😭

[@s000mable]

Hi could you ask your friend where the back box key is held? Like a clip or hidey hole Can’t find ours and the supplier is sure they are there

[@CaryHardy]

I'll have him reply...

[@rwiski]

Hi, the keys for the backbox are on the inside of the coin door. They will be hanging on a little hook right above the service menu buttons. It took me a while to find them, they blend in well.

[@s000mable]

@@rwiski thanks :) we found the hook deffo no keys will go back to company :) P.s we put green protectors on our plastics it’s definitely recommended as it looks awesome!

[@s000mable]

Yay thanks for this :) Can’t wait even more now yay Might add in Ripleys voice tho

[@supersnappahead]

Oh god, I want this thing

[@JerseyStyle7]

Very cool 👍i just bought my first one 😂

[@ScottParisi]

Awesome video. Thank you. I have someone offering me Alien LV and cash for my Deadpool LE and I'm on the fence about getting rid of Deadpool but the algorithm knew I was in this stage and served up this video.

[@s000mable]

Did you enjoy playing it? I value your opinion :)

[@CaryHardy]

I'll have a follow up video on MY experience. I need more time on it especially with the better code. Shoots solid, and has good sound.

[@s000mable]

@@CaryHardy :( ours had a post loose and it chipped the play field. One of the bash targets also got so mashed the switch was stuck. It’s being played at UK pinfest and we were told by an operator it was open a lot but home use it should be fine. Due to the chip being covered up we are trying to get a refund on the deposit.

[@s000mable]

Though we are being given a free play field do that’s good service

[@bobjones8838]

I always found this cabinet to be hard to see from being so dark, can’t track the ball well

[@nickatmacomb8965]

How is the playfield quality?

[@rwiski]

Probably the best playfield out there now

[@victord3093]

OMG...I want this so bad.

[@rox2u]

a game easier obtained here in sweden than jjp guns n roses pro that are total unobtainium here right now

[@afattori316]

I played a GnR LE. You are not missing much. Kinda like a hot girl with HIV, great to look at, but you don’t want to play with it.

[@moobutt]

I had to LOL when you said the quality was as good as Jersey Jack 🤣🤣🙂🤣 It’s that bad???

[@CaryHardy]

That's why he said "Some people are gonna be like "oh no" when I say that". lol

[@blawicki]

holy loose tilt, Batman.

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

LCD screens not needed. Pinball should be screen free.

[@Konuvis]

I'm probably the only annoying one who going to mention an Alien machine while playing Aliens voice clips :P Although I guess the game itself covers the franchise more than the movie.

[@fenixasin]

I do not see the hype. That is a barren underside and will be a nightmare to replace boards 10 years from now.

[@manoeljeneci607]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Pinman1973]

The hardware design is terrible on this game. The circuits are not even protected with fuses.

[@EXCELLENTpoo]

1st!

[@cyanidechrist]

I got a tricked out one with 3D backglass the other day. So far it's......... AWESOME. Plays like a 90s Williams/Bally.

[@grahamherbert3612]

I played machine number 9, and to be honest, I really wasn't that impressed with the overall finish or mechanics.
