Description

This table pack for Pinball Arcade contains two tables:

Attack from Mars (Bally, 1995): Designed by Brian Eddy (Medieval Madness, Black Rose, The Shadow) this table involves saving the Earth from an army of martians from Mars, which are attacking many major cities, and then going to Mars to take down the Martian Empire and taking over the planet. Its notable features include a flying saucer on the top of the playfield, which you can hit, four dancing green martians, and a strobe light, used during the aptly named Strobe Multiball. It had a spiritual successor in Medieval Madness, as it shares some design elements (similar layout, and the castle being an equivalent to the saucer), as well as a sequel, also from Bally: Revenge from Mars, released in 1999 and designed by George Gomez (Monster Bash), running on the short-lived Pinball 2000 hardware. Approximately 3400 units of Attack from Mars were originally produced.

Genie (Gottlieb, 1979): This widebody table, like many tables of its time, has a simple objective: building up the end-of-ball bonus and multipliers, by hitting different drop targets and going through the rollovers, as well as earning the special. It features five flippers and a mini-playfield on the top left of the main playfield, which has two of those flippers, but in a smaller size than the others. 6800 units were originally produced.
