 I put some money into a RFM at a rest stop,  and in minutes I was
fighting the urge to leave mid game.   I just didnt want to waste my
money!  I walked away from it before finishing the last ball.   

 I dont like either  RFM or AFM.   Boring shots. Poor flow.

Jeff AMN:
That's part of the humor for Attack From Mars. The scoring is intentionally inflated just to add to the whole silliness of the theme.

Now that I understand the absolute joys of old school playfield multipliers, I find them much more enjoyable than newer games that have you mindlessly shoot 1-2 ramps. Nothing beats maxing out the 5x PF multiplier and then just going to town on targets.

On my pin, 150 k is the usual outcome without getting significant bonus multipliers. The best I have done is just shy of 500k. Since I moved the pin to its permanent location, me or the wife can't score for crap. I need to adjust the playfield slope or something.


I assume the score inflations are to encourage non-pin players to dump more money.

Pretty much the only thing I like on those games that you can't get on the earlier SS games is a good lightshow.  That's fun.  It's not worth an extra $750, though.

Exactly. Good thing my aftermarket CPU maximizes the hell out of the light show possibilities of my 1st gen SS to take care of that problem.

I still want a funhouse just for the visual experience - one of the best visual eye candy pins IMO.
