What's so special about this game?
Attack From Mars is an "all-timer". Consistently ranked by pinball players (casual and pros alike) as one of the best games of all time.
What’s a Good Score?
New to Pinball: 500,000,000
If you hit that, you’re starting to understand the game. (Attack from Mars is a very high scoring game by default so don't think 500 Million will be easy on other games)
Pretty Experienced: 3,000,000,000
At this point, you’re probably starting modes, finding multiballs, and making shots on purpose.
Pro Tip:
Don’t only chase score. Try to understand why the game gave you points. That is when pinball starts getting fun.
Best quick tips:
Hold the left flipper button down when you launch your ball. That opens up "skill shots" that light up red but only if you hold down that left button.
Focus on the saucer in the middle over and over until you at least beat the first saucer as that will make the "extra ball" available.
Fun Facts:
Brian R. Eddy designed this game as well as another top all-time game; Medieval Madness. He programmed FunHouse, and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure as well!
To complete the game and reach the ultimate final wizard mode, you have to accomplish six incredibly difficult tasks: score a super jackpot during multiball, start super jets, play Martian Attack multiball, play Total Annihilation, destroy Mars, and complete a 5-way combo.
