I only rate machines I have played over a long period of time. I’m in California and pinball has always been a hotbed where you can play anything you want. If the game passes the perfect 10 with me and my fam, I buy it. Brian Eddy is a superstar, up there with Pat Lawlor and Steve Ritchie incorporates much of the same awesomeness in MM. It’s challenging and rewarding. Mars and Aliens has always been great theme and stands the test of time. The sound is fantastic and the shaker is not just an addition but designed well for the machine. The remake LE edition is Big Bang for your money, the interactive topper is must have.

For me, definitely has "Lastability." Still haven't conquered the universe on the game I play. The hardest part has been destroying enough saucers. Still has some good fun humor and the theme is excellent.

Fantastic remake, well worth the extra $$ for the topper, large DMD etc.
Fun game that keeps me coming back for 1 more.

AFM survives on nostalgia alone. Let’s be honest with ourselves. It simply does not compete with modern pins. Is this game a classic? Yes! Is it a blast to play? Yes? Is it the best fan B/W fan layout? No. Is it a top 5 game? I feel like you’ve got to choose...MM and AFM are basically the same game but MM has more to offer. Also...these remakes don’t feel as good to flip as the originals. That’s a fact.

Incredible machine. CGC did it right reproducing such a legendary pin. The added touches with the larger screen & speaker panel plus what might be the best topper in all of pinball nicely add to an already classic. Fast, challenging and humorous.

We have had 2 AFMs, we had a SE, that we sold to get a LE because we like it so much. This game is pretty fun, we are not pinball experts, and it is just the right level of rules and challenges to keep us playing. We also like the campy theme a lot and find ourselves quoting the game even in our private lives.

Almost perfection! Pretty rare for a pin to cover almost every base, appealing to novices and pros alike. Great rules, shots are smooth, theme and theme integration is as good as it gets. Only downside is the shots can get a little repetitive, but what do you expect from a fan layout?! CGC did a great job with the remakes, lighting and sound is first rate.
Top 5 pin for a reason.

I’m puzzled. Why remake this almost the same. Playing a well modded original and a remake doesn’t feel that different. Still a good game but don’t think it deserves this much praise. Wouldn’t be bolted to my floor.

Good fun, but can only take for so long. Everything looks shiny and beautiful, sound is great. Shots are well spaced. As popular as the original is, I don’t run for this pin whenever I see it. It is simple fun- great for new people, but the repetitive nature limits my interest. Probably in my top 20, not top 5.

I never realised just how good this ATFMLE is. It brings back all the memories of what a pinball machine brings with the perfect balance of fun and skill and excitement. Clear, simple and challenging rules to follow without doing your head in, and beautiful art and sound and toys. Can you give 11/10 ?
CGC have done a wonderful service in bringing this back, and now i just want to get all of their pins.
Anyone got a royal MM ? (-:

Pinnacle of pinball for a reason! The rules, layout, theme, plus some golden era 90s nostalgia mixed in make this pin a top 3 on Pinside. Very glad Chicago Gaming remade this with the AWESOME topper.

Great, classic game. For me, I prefer MM, but AFM is equivalent in every way. I've always felt it's a toss up between the two.
