When demand for original Attack from Mars machines outstripped supply and prices soared, Chicago Gaming answered with this officially licensed Remake — a 2017 Limited Edition that brings Brian Eddy’s 1995 classic roaring back to life with modern upgrades. The beloved design is untouched, but it’s enhanced with a large color DMD, sparkling playfield mirror blades, a shaker motor, and a custom topper, giving collectors a brand-new way to own one of the most acclaimed games ever made.
The gameplay remains the gold standard it always was. You defend Earth from a fleet of flying saucers, blasting the hovering saucer bash toy into submission while building toward multiballs and the iconic Rule the Universe wizard mode. The expert moves carry over intact: bring down the saucer’s visor before a multiball so you can pound it safely, open the force field early since you can’t during multiball, and chase Total Annihilation — the four-ball blowout started by hitting each ramp and orbit three times — for huge points.
All the personality survives, too, from the mooing cows in the tractor beam to the satisfying clatter of a saucer exploding. With its factory-fresh build quality and those gleaming modern touches, the Attack from Mars Remake LE is the definitive way to experience a stone-cold classic — proof that some designs are so good they deserve a second production run a generation later.
