If you enjoyed the original, this version of AFM is really impressive with the upgraded lighting and lighting effects, the super-sized color display, and the interactive topper. CGC took one of the best games ever made and took it up a notch.

The day I get tired of hearing "MULTIBALL!" blast out of those speakers will be the day I give up pinball forever.

fun game overall but a bit repetitive for me to want to add it to my home collection. Has great lighting and some of the coolest animations on the large display.

Not much I can say that hasn’t been said already.
Out of this world light show, and a beauty colour screen to boot.
CGC did an amazing job on this pin.

Can't say much about the game AFM that hasn't been said already, it's super simple rules but just the correct amount of easy and hard goals. Nice short ball times with high high point shot value. I know that's just a gimmick but it's fun to get 400M in bonus points.

The remake LE it's so well built and had very intense lighting effects and the topper is the king of all toppers, love the LED display makes all my normal size displays look inadequate.

The remake of this game has outdone the original in so many ways.
The lighting and sound is light years ahead of the original and enhances an already amazing game.

AFMR LE with it's awesome interactive topper is the complete package - great (cheesy) theme, great art package and most importantly, a spot on Brian Eddy playfield which keeps you hooked for that 'one more go' feeling.

Had the original & loved it. They definitely improved on the original and the lights and lighting on this is way better. It’s the classic on steroids and has the perfect rule set and perfect theme.Other pins may come & go but this one will never leave.

A timeless classic. The topper designed by Doug Watson himself is a real blast.

I used to own an original and really liked the game but sold it due to a play field wear spot.. Yes I know how pedantic!
We're talking quite a few years ago.

Ive bought the AFMR LE and can honestly say its better than the original.
Due to the Topper - LED saucers and the huge Color DMD is just wow!
Also the fact that everything is brand new!

A great theme, a great, immersive experience, a fantastically updated light show, and the greatest topper ever designed. What's not to love? It can be brutally difficult when set up to play fast, but makes you want to play over and over. This one is never leaving my collection!

Nice flow. Easy to understand. Kinda funny. Integration with topper is outstanding. When some asks me what should be their first game, this is the one I recommend.

Without a doubt, this pin is fun and belongs in the same category as Medieval Madness. Unlike that pin, I find Attack from Mars to be too repetitive. When I encounter one, I play a few games and then move on.

AFM - one of the best games of all time.

AFMR - color display is great.

Don't like the feel of the flippers - feel different and not in a good way.

Lighting is super bright, in your face. Really didn't like it. Why no diffusers?

Never owned the old Machine, this new one with the LED's is Beautiful! Was always told the shots were the same as MM, BUT I like this lay out much better as the last center shot to shoot down the main flying saucer is way narrower and more challenging to hit(as it will reflect off the side targets if your shot is off AT ALL to the left or right) than the castle on MM which I always thought was TOO easy to hit every time to take down the Castle. All and all just different enough with the whole theme AND SHOTS to make it a must buy even if you have MM.

Like MMR, the game is limited by it's simple fan layout. It's fun and funny, but I actually find RFM funnier and more engaging. The playfield martians are nowhere near as fluidly animated as in the original and RFM, being very stiff in execution. The saucer and color DMD enhancements are welcome, but the green trim and lit speakers are gaudy. Taking improvement liberties with a twenty plus year old game is fine, but I'd like to see those liberties include enhancements in the game itself. A widebody expansion of this theme JJP style would be stellar!

Had this on my shirt list of wants and after playing it several times had to buy it. So much fun and deep enough to never get old. Get the LE because the topper is awesome!

Love the new topper, and the saucer light show is excellent. I'm not a fan of the LCD screen, though. A real colour DMD would be a lot better, IMO.

I never played this game when it originally came out. I have played the reissue LE at two different venues and have to say, this game is a blast!!! The color DMD is amazing and the lighting on the playing field is spot on! I see why this game was reissued as it is truly an ambassador game for the industry. This game is on my short list to own. Groovy in so many ways!

I wasn't expecting to like this game, but my wife and I just had to keep going back to play it over and over again at the Texas Pinball Fest. The toy interaction, the theme, the feel, all of it was just a ton of fun and we've added it to our wish list. A shaker motor and color screen are a must for us though, so we'll have to save up for the LE.
