Attack From Mars Pinball Machine by Bally

Overview

Step into the cockpit of Earth’s last defense with the legendary Attack From Mars pinball machine! Originally released in 1995, this iconic game was designed by Brian Eddy for Midway under the Bally label and has become one of the most beloved pinball machines in history.

The Story

The Martians have launched a full-scale invasion of Earth, and humanity’s fate rests in your hands! Your mission: destroy the entire Martian fleet, defend major cities from destruction, and ultimately travel to Mars itself to dismantle the alien empire once and for all. With its campy 1950s sci-fi aesthetic and tongue-in-cheek humor, this game delivers an unforgettable arcade experience that keeps players coming back for more.

Signature Features

The game comes alive with four animatronic dancing Martian figures that taunt you throughout gameplay, plus a dramatic strobe light that activates during Strobe Multiball for an immersive light show.

Game Objectives

Super Jets

Accumulate hits on the pop bumpers to activate Super Jets mode, where each bumper hit scores an impressive 3 million points.

Test your precision by making consecutive shots at lit loops and ramps before the lights expire. Chain your shots together to build massive combos!

Super Jackpot

During multiball play, sink all five jackpot shots with at least two balls in play to light the coveted Super Jackpot, which continuously rotates between the five jackpot targets.
