About This Machine

Attack From Mars (Remake Special Edition) is a highly sought-after pinball machine that has made a significant impact on the hobby since its release in June 2017. This remake of the classic 1995 game (originally released under the Bally brand by Midway) is part of Chicago Gaming Company's catalog, demonstrating their dedication to reviving iconic titles with modern electronics. Designed with the involvement of original concept creator and designer Brian Eddy and artist Doug Watson, Attack From Mars (Remake Special Edition) has been well-received among pinball enthusiasts and collectors.

The gameplay of this remake features several key updates that set it apart from its 1995 predecessor. Notably, the machine boasts a large color DMD (dot matrix display), which provides crisp visuals for players to navigate through various Martian-themed missions. The addition of a shaker motor adds an immersive experience, further immersing players in the alien invasion scenario. Moreover, all lamps are LED from the factory, offering improved brightness and energy efficiency.

From a design and art perspective, Attack From Mars (Remake Special Edition) is a visual standout. The large Martian saucer, with its vibrant red, green, and blue tri-color LEDs, serves as a striking centerpiece for the playfield. Additionally, the enhanced sound speakers are illuminated with matching colored LEDs, creating an immersive ambiance that complements the machine's theme. The machine ships with four pinballs, supporting its multiball-heavy gameplay.
