There are a few things I need to adjust as far as the controls and leaf switches are concerned, but for the most part this is a wrap. I may attempt to track down the correct controllers, which to my knowledge were 8 way red textured joysticks manufactured by Coin Controls.
I most enjoyed getting the chance to take the fight to the alien hoards in a couple of co-op rounds with my daughter. While not really her thing, she could certainly appreciate the quirky game play mechanics, and the weird "over the top" alien morphology.
I'm very pleased with the artwork, and the laminate work turned out excellent. Overall I'd say this was a success. Huge thanks for the work of KLOV member "AlienSyndrome", for not just one but two excellently documented Alien Syndrome restorations. Also a big thanks to KLOV member SkyFighter for putting me in touch with Fiz whom provided the amazing reproduction artwork. Big thank you to member HighProtein of theVillageBBS for responding with this project machine when I got the bug. Lastly, but perhaps most important, notorious KLOV member Fizgig for the artwork, which made this project possible.
