  • RGB LEDs in the Martian saucer and speaker panels
  • Enhanced speakers for improved sound and callouts

The core gameplay remains unchanged and instantly recognizable.

Gameplay & Playfield Highlights

Attack From Mars centers around destroying Martian saucers and defending Earth:

  • A 3-bank moving target bank sits at the center of the playfield
  • Hit the bank to lower it and expose the targets behind
  • Repeated hits lower the drop target to reveal the saucer hole
  • Shoot the ball into the hole to destroy the flying saucer
  • Destroy enough saucers to Attack Mars

Additional features include:

  • Super Skill Shot: Hold the left flipper during launch, then hit any major shot within a few seconds to score 50,000,000 points and complete that lane or start UFO Attack
  • Multiball
  • Two ramps
  • Four animated “dancing” Martians
  • Video mode

The rules are easy to understand, but the game offers plenty of depth for repeat play.

Gameplay Crash Course

The key to high scores in Attack From Mars is staying focused on saucer destruction and mode progression, while taking advantage of skill shots and multiball opportunities whenever possible.
