There's something pulpy and eye-searing about these images of Attack From Mars, a 1995 Bally pinball machine. This guy is selling his machine online, and he's taken insanely detailed photos of every part of the machine, including a hauntingly gorgeous image of the plastic aliens trapped in a glowing red pinball inferno. Click through for more images, but be warned: this machine can cause epilepsy!
Here's the full image of the game, lit up and bright red: 
In addition to photographing every angle of the game's art and inner workings, the seller took this lovely photo of its epilepsy warning. Consult a doctor if battling the invaders From Mars causes any serious symptoms!

Yay, epilepsy warning!
The price?
One meel-ion dollars!
Love that machine. One of my all time favorites. There was even a follow up machine called "Revenge from Mars" which used the futuristic hologram technology of the year 2000.
God, I love pinball machines. You can barely find them anywhere these days. One of my personal favorites is Elvira's Scared Stiff (but I'm a big Elvira fan). The Mars Attacks one is definitely a great table.
That's hellishly red. Are we sure that wasn't just a re-purposed Hieronymus Bosch themed machine?
That looks like the philly sky line on the head board.
If you like pinball try...

Just want to play. I can't reccomend this high enough

But if you do want to buy relazize you are buying a car. Expensive to buy new, cheaper to buy used (but constant maintenance). And the "garages" that can work on these babies are disapperaring fast.
Better learn to solder
"Revenge from Mars" is the better (IMHO) hybrid successor/sequel.

Not only is the cabinet shorter, the top of the playing field is 3D Video. So instead of launching the ball "at" flimsy rubber space invaders, you send the ball through them making them 'splode!
Williams gave Star Wars Ep. 1 similar treatment.
A great machine.
I would love to get an original Pin-Bot.
Ah, I can remember that one. Played that one at my local Arcade for years.
The Sequel "Revenge From Mars" was also awesome.
Are the illustrations by Richard Corben?
It appears they are by Doug Watson.
Too bad that site doesn't have a little video of the Martians jumping up and down. That was always the highlight of playing this machine.
We had this in a bar I bartended in. It was great to get hammered and play for hours after we closed, but if you neglected to turn it off while cleaning up, it would occasionally make all sorts of growling destruction noises while you were in the back or some area of the bar and scare the bejeesus out of you.

@Go Like Hell Machine: "Attract Mode". Our bar had F14 Tomcat. The flashing cop lights at the top made for quite the "patron freak outs" before we had its attract mode disabled.
