Cool. I love HR Giger's artwork. There was a snowboard with his artwork on it back in the 90's. I wanted it, but it was way too expensive at the time.
 
thanks!!.. Yeah giger's work always reminds me of the 80's for some reason...

For some strange reason his art reminds me of PENIS. Must be all the penis's in there.

Actually he has both sexes in there. I just had to say it cuz my brother always has to remind me of this fact everytime he sees Giger stuff in my house.

I love his art. One of my all time favorites. Make sure you keep us posted on this project.

got a question for ya? Are your BLACKLIGHTS on the aliens machine, hooked up to the power supply of the machine or are they on a seperate cord plugged into the wall outlet?? and if they are using the PS what did you hook them up to?? Please PM me..thanks

Just plugged into the power strip behind the game:

I put this game together using a Guerrilla War cab, with H.R. GIGER artwork. I really didnt like the plain ALIENS artwork so i used the creator of the creatures artwork for the bezel, marquee, and CPO, but i still used the NOS ALIENS side-art for the front of the machine under the CP..I had the CPO custom made by MAMEMARQUEE.COM they did a superb job!! I used 2 blacklights on either side of the cab (like zfcamaro's cab) It really gives it that creepy space like effect. Also check out the LIGHTS OFF link of the cab when the lights are out, The blacklights make the bezel and CPO "GLOW", looks very creepy!!!

Very Cool! I love Giger's artwork but it looks way too creepy to actually have in my arcade! It would scare the kidiewinkies!
 
Based on the thread title I got a little excited and thought Giger was opening an arcade similar to his bar. Ended up in Switzerland a couple years back and made it to his home town. Museum was amazing and the bar was really incredible. Drank Giger Absinthe in a bony alien chair.

Cool game though.
