Having worked on this game in the VERY early stages – I have mentioned digital versions of the tables (Full Throttle and the new Alien) and I did not get a ‘no way’ reply – I just get the impression Andrew Heighway is not interested in this world.
If it was to go ahead (the main designer works on Visual pinball anyway) for the games before anything is added, I am positive it would be charged for – they would not give you the resources to do it. The files are extremely well protected in the software, not impossible to ‘crack’ but not a 2 minute job.
It is a linux based system, and I have to be honest it is a good game to play.
If you look at the playfield – no switches in the usual places. They are basically sensors under the playfield. The game has a few traditional switches but not many. All the LEDs are addressable, and like Pinball 2000 – no GI circuits.
Also like Pinball 2000 – a lot of changes would have to be made to get these games playing on VP.
They no longer do ‘translites’ on games – its a TV screen, and puts up the same information as on the smaller playfield screen.
I would actually love to see this and Aliens for VPX – but I can not see it!
