Alien

Plunge the ball using the launch button. The ball is fed to the right flipper, and all shots are lit for skill shot. Each shot scores points that increase each time the same skill shot is made, and a different award depending on which one was made:

• Vent 1: Lights MU/TH/UR Mystery

• Left / Right Orbit: TBD

• Left / Right Ramp: Spots all DROP or SHIP letters

• Any Weapon Target: Awards the next Weapon

• Xenomorph Target: 2 Xenomorph hits

• Host Target: TBD

If three different skill shots are made in a single game, a Super Skill Bonus of 5M is awarded along with any awards from the skill shot itself.

At the start of the game, the player can choose between which of the two films they want to play.

The “Alien” modes are considered more lucrative for competitive play. Best to stack an “Alien” mode with Sentry Guns MB.

⭐️ "Alien" Missions:

• Derelict Ship: Shoot the bumpers to explore the nest. Scoring in this mode is determined by how many eggs were destroyed beforehand; blue shots add more points to the base bumper value, and green shots add more time. Destroy 12 eggs to light the 3 Vents for a value based on the number of destroyed eggs & how much time was remaining. Then, shoot the Air Lock to win the mission. Rolling through an inlane, then shooting the opposite orbit increases all bumper scoring by 5x for as long as the ball remains in the bumpers after shooting it.

• Acid Burn: Find the acid on 3 decks by shooting 3 lit blue shots, while avoiding the green shots; hitting enough green shots will end the mission in failure prematurely. After the three shots have been made, shoot the Air Lock to win the mission.

• Find Jonesy: Make 2 orange shots that change very quickly, unless you hold the ball and wait. The orange shots represent Jonesy, Ripley’s pet, exploring the ship - as soon as you hear a “meow” from the game, pay attention and determine which shot you need to make next. The fewer misses, the more points you score. Win the mission at the Air Lock after making the two shots.

• Tunnel Hunt: Shoot the 3 Vents once each - the left eject, the right lane, and the upper loop - to light the Air Lock to win the mission. The value of the Air Lock is doubled if Vents 1, 2, and 3 are made in the correct order prior to shooting it.

After playing all four missions, the next mission will be Self-Destruct.

"Aliens" Missions:

• Combat Drop: Phase 1 - make four shots to any of the weapon standup targets to board the ship. Phase 2 - shoot the left or right ramps to pilot the ship, and then the Air Lock to land the ship. Only one ramp shot during Phase 2 is required to light the Air Lock to win the mission - but further ramp shots can be made for more points before shooting the Air Lock.

• A-P-C: Blue shots are lit, for 10 seconds each, to navigate the station. Completing the APC drop targets during this mission instantly awards the currently lit shot and boosts scoring for the rest of the mission. The final shot of the mission will always be at the Air Lock.

• Bug Hunt: Phase 1 - make 3 ramp shots to light the Host target / magnet to examine a colonist. Phase 2 - fend off the Xenomorph infestation by shooting flashing blue shots while avoiding unlit shots; unlit shots will reduce scoring for the rest of the mode. Only one blue shot is required to light the Air Lock to win the mission.

• Queen’s Nest: Alternate shots between either orbit (which feed the bumpers during this mission) and the Air Lock. Complete this sequence 3 times to finish off the Alien Queen and win the mission. Scoring during this mission is determined by the number of eggs that were destroyed beforehand.

After playing all four missions, the next mission will be Loader Battle.
