Attack from Mars

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

In this game, the player must fend off an alien invasion from the planet Mars by defending the world's major cities, destroying the invasion fleet, and conquering Mars itself.

The game was conceived of by Brian Eddy celebrating classic 50s sci-fi movies like The War of the Worlds, but with a modern sense of humour. It has a fan layout, meaning all shots can be hit from the 2 flippers at the bottom of the playfield.

Notable features on the playfield include four mechanized Martian figures, a strobe light (for Strobe Multiball), and several flying saucers mounted above the ramps/loops. The largest of these, placed above a set of targets at the top center of the playfield, can shake and flash in time with the player's success in defeating Martian forces.
