Deservedly an all time classic. This one will be in most player's top ten lists for many many years to come. I didn't expect to rate it a perfect ten but I can't knock it in any way!

Fine game. Too simple of a layout for my liking. Somewhat surprised by the popularity and staying power of this machine.

This is a game I always loved. We used to play it religiously daily and actually ruled the universe 2 times. Fast forward a few decades and still enjoy it!

I like an open playfield and combo shots so this is good for me. Keeps it flowing and fast play. The saucer and Martians are great additions to the pkayfield. Great interaction with the objective you are on. Easy to see where you want to place the ball.

Looking at mods for it, I am glad to have this in my collection.

Attack from Mars is a classically themed pin that is definitively timeless, with its big centerpiece shot dominating the playfield. Fantastic theming and an overall fun factor of 10+ makes this game perfectly placed at number 3 all time. Go and play this game any time you want to have a great day.

Overall great classic game.

Honestly it's a bit stale. One main target which is loads of fun. But then.... Ramps is really all ya get. For it's time period absolutely wonderful. Now it's just a little stale.

Still very fun. The mods and everything make it incredible to play and achieve things. Very fun. Rules are pretty simple and pretty obvious when you walk up what you need to do.

An ok machine will be an ok experience. A well maintained machine could be an amazing pinball experience.

Great game - I give the edge to MM or EHoH with similar layouts however.

Great game. More fun than I expected. The alien attack is one of the best features of any pinball machine.

One of the greatest games ever made for a reason. Buttery smooth gameplay, fun scoring, a deep ruleset. There's not much to say about AFM that hasn't been heralded for decades.

I was very skeptical about this game remake. After playing it, I realized that it have been improved drastically when compared to the original.

Don’t know anything wrong with this pin. Timeless and always go back to play it again. This pin is funny, fun to play, and a great theme.

I bought this machine new and have loved it since I first plugged it in…. The Martian and people call outs really drive the theme and the shots are challenging and very fast!!

A timeless classic. A little brutal, but always a fun play. This game helped to hook my son on pinball. I'd love to own one, but fortunately these are pretty common machines locally. Destroying that center saucer never gets old! I think this game proves that an original license can still work, even though most modern games are all licensed themes. The music is also amazing. This is a Pinball Hall of Fame type game.

It's easy to understand how to progress in this game. I love the fan layout and amazing bash toy. Without a doubt, the best bash toy in pinball!

AFM has a good layout with great toys (mothership is the best). The only thing that holds this game back in modern times is the simple and repetitive code.

Very fun to play from the first time and want to keep playing as learn the shots. Flippers are bit unique and take a little getting used to. Not sure it is top 5, or worth what they go for but happy that can play it locally.
