Profile

Heighway Pinball was a British boutique pinball manufacturer known for producing the game Alien. The company is now defunct, having closed after launching Brian Allen's art career. Heighway Pinball's closure serves as a cautionary example in the pinball industry, though their Alien title was later remade by Pinball Brothers.
