The Revenge From Mars instantly catches your eye as being an old retro
alien invasion pinball themed game. It has the evil green aliens, and it features explosions which also catch the eye. It instantly fills the bar for me in terms of looking like a cheesy ‘80s/’90s alien invasion movie, and I loved it.
The Game (when it was not having issues), was very fun, there was funny conversations between aliens, and there were interesting game loops. The gravity in the machine was very fast, however this was not overwhelming in any way, and made play interesting and action packed. There were issues with the mission, where the balls would be stuck in places in the back, which seemed to just be maintenance issues, however it was still frustrating when I had to sit there for 5 minutes confused, trying to tilt it, and then also getting locked out of any gameplay.
What was fun was the integration of analog and digital, the game featured a holographic screen, that would interact with the physical ball , which was very cool. There were sometimes aliens walking around a bar, and other times tanks and UFOs that I had to shoot down with the ball. The overall visuals were very good and kept me engaged.
There were also around 7 aliens bumpers that you were able to hit for an objective, these were actually quite difficult to hit, and while I managed to hit them, they were a bit too sensitive to the ball, I felt like it would have been better if they were less sensitive, where simply grazing them didn’t trigger a hit, added with making them a little easier to hit, compensating for the decreased sensitivity.
I would definitely recommend playing this, at least once, and deciding 
whether or not you enjoy the digital and analog integration. I don’t believe it is for everyone, because sometimes you just want the analog version, but for something trying to compete with arcade machines, it definitely fits the bridge between the two types of machines.
