demo cab, playfields installed and I think most of the pf(s) hardware is mounted
I'm not sure how far James and Paul have gotten with the electronics.

Amazing game, unique in so may ways. Can't imagine ever getting to play one.

Hobbit = Fishtales meets Stellar Wars.

Why make a widebody and then have the bottom half used by the biggest apron I've ever seen   &^&

cause the flippers were not strong enough to flip the ball all the way up the table,hehe

Heighway Pinball's second game announced - Alien based on the 1st and 2nd movie, no humour, just scary

- lots of ramps
- 4 flippers
- wide body
- designed by Dennis Nordman
- game features a rotating air lock that changes to an alien to battle, then finally the alien queen.

They are working on 6 games in various stage of development - 3 licensed and 3 non-licensed.




So now there is Predator pin and Alien pin

Thanks for all the updates Jady.  ^^^

TBL looks to be an awesome game, the more i see the more i am genuinely tempted by it.....

Also love the idea of an Alien pin.

Too many pins and not enough money!

What's the use of Heighway pinball even announcing a second pinball title when they are Farr from even releasing their first pinball title, as well as the fact the Heighway technology and platform hasn't proven itself yet.? Its a bit like JJP and the WOZ game being years behind then announcing the Hobbit....

I say get your first game done and prove its worth, then talk about number two title then otherwise it all seems to be too much far too early. Where is Heighway with its first title and costings..?
I think like a lot of the other start ups, they are all over value ing the success of their first title and the revenues raised.
If  JJP isn't in the profit yet with WOZ even with its massive prepaid scheme, how are any of these other start ups going to even have a chance to survive past title number one ?

Anyone got any up to date info about definate sale numbers for any of these start ups ?
It's going to be a long and rocky road to take money from established Stern buyers and make them change brand or logo IMO.

If they sell more than a few hundred TBL, I will be impressed.

Full throttle is their second title

I think they shipped about 250 units
