Attack from Mars is a 1995 pinball game designed by Brian Eddy, and released by Midway (under the Bally label).

In this game, Martians began to invade the Earth, and it's up to the player to destroy the Martian fleet, save all the major cities, and then head off to Mars to destroy the Martian empire and planet Mars.

Among the game's noted features include four dancing Martian figures and a strobe light (for Strobe Multiball).

Objectives

When all six of these objectives are met, shoot the "Stroke of Luck" scoop to start Rule the Universe, a four-ball wizard mode. In this mode, everything is lit, and the objective is to score 5 billion points with at least two balls in play, and if you succeed, you will score an extra 5 billion points.

Sequels

Attack From Mars was followed up with Revenge From Mars, released in 1999. It was designed by George Gomez, and it featured most of the original AFM design team . It was the first game to run on Williams/Midway's Pinball 2000 platform. WMS Industries introduced slot machines in 2011 called Attack from Mars and Revenge from Mars.[1]

Digital versions

Attack from Mars is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade for several platforms. Attack from Mars was also included in the arcade game UltraPin. Unlicensed recreations of the game are available for Visual Pinball.
