History Pinball / AttackFromMars

-->'''Martian''': You can't defeat our force field!

-->"You fools! I told you to use the atomic blaster!"
** The livestock quote is used as well (as a random response from one of the peasants).

* WizardMode: "Rule the Universe".

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: "Watch out! The Martians have a Big-O-Beam!"

* EpilepticFlashingLights: During Stroboscope Multiball, a strobolight under the flying saucer rapidly flashes during gameplay, making it harder to track the pinballs flying about. Also notable for making this game the first pinball ever to have an epilepsy warning sticker applied to it.

* AliensStealCattle: Both an art decal and an in-game animation show aliens {{tractor beam}}ing up a cow.

A digital version of the game is available as part of [=FarSight=] Studios' ''Pinball/ThePinballArcade'' collection.

''Attack from Mars'' is a {{pinball}} machine released in December of 1995 by [[Creator/MidwayGames Bally.]] It was designed by Brian Eddy

Like most pinball games, there isn't really much in the way of plot: the Earth is under attack by Martians, and you must stop them from kidnapping women and destroying the world's monuments, before ultimately taking the fight to the source on Mars itself. The main draw of the machine is the Martian ship toy in the center of the board that actually shakes when the player destroys it in-game.

It got a sequel, ''Pinball/RevengeFromMars'', in 1999.

-> ''"Forget everything you knew about pinball. This is something entirely different. Entirely better. It's Revenge From Mars, the first-ever game to utilize the technology of Pinball 2000."''

It was followed by a sequel, ''Revenge from Mars'', in January 1999. It was notable for being the first of two "[[{{Trope 2000}} Pinball 2000]]" games, which utilized digital graphics to create an interesting illusion of immersion. The format of the game is also different: you are given a choice of nine missions in three categories to tackle.
