Attack from Mars

Attack from Mars is a 1995 pinball game designed by Brian Eddy, and released by Bally Midway. 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. It was not licensed, or based on the "Mars Attacks!" movie. According to George Gomez, Brian Eddy had the concept planned long before the movie, as a means of celebrating classic 50s sci-fi movies like The War of the Worlds, but with a modern sense of humour.

Attack from Mars is noted for its lasting cultural impact and its ability to appeal to both newer and experienced players, and received attention for its unusually high scoring. The table has a fan layout, meaning all shots can be hit from the two flippers at the bottom of the playfield. The video mode in Attack From Mars was taken from an old Apple II computer game called "Sabotage".

Around 3,450 units were produced, and on release it was reportedly earning around $300-325 a week for operators.

A sequel called Revenge From Mars, was released in 1999. It was designed by George Gomez, and most of the original Attack from Mars design team. It was the first game to run on Williams' Pinball 2000 platform.
