Attack from Mars is the game that got me into pinball, a stone cold classic!!

Awesome stuff again Gonzo. AFM is one of my all time faves, humour, fun, good shots, and that one more game attraction, love it

Gonzo, and for all those reasons you mentioned that’s why I have a Attack from Mars in my collection, it’s loved by all my friends and family.

Also has the best extra ball sequence in pinball, and so rewarding when you get it, extra balls are vital on afm

"Get your hands of me! All 4 of them!" #1 You know it makes sense 👍😉

There won't be many that top AFM if any at all. It's the equivalent of a videogame roguelike for me. A game genre that has randomised elements but you repeat the same missions/levels. It has that one more go feel and gives you the belief that next time you'll get further and eventually beat it. Just love it and completely agree with you.

Do like the rating idea. Especially vs pin side. My example is Quicksilver…. Compared to the criteria it would rank really low. But I could play it for hours and keep coming back for more. If I drain, it’s my fault! Love it. (But, as you say! What music, what features! What modes?

This table is so good it even appears in the latest episode of "The last of us"! Yay 👍

Attack from marsh is a better game than Medieval Madness from an “at-a-glance” perspective (arcades and newcomers), but Mideval Madness has better code, more unique things to shoot, and a better atmosphere for long term replays. I’d rather OWN a Medieval Madness than AFM, but I’d say AFM (especially theme and ease of approachability) is a better game from an overall perspective.
