Below it, a grey flying saucer rains magenta and orange tractor beams onto a giant snarling green-blue monster head with glowing red eyes. Two big chrome-rimmed pop bumpers with green starburst inserts sit symmetrically mid-field, and the lower left inlane carries a dripping 'REVENGE FROM MARS' logo with a clenched grey fist while the right carries a 'PINBALL 2000' oval.

A vertical pinball playfield lit by strong red and magenta LED strips down both wooden side rails, with a large dot-matrix display panel filling the top third. The DMD shows the words 'Attack Mars Champion' in chunky red-and-white letters over a photo of a cratered planet, with 'KEF' in pale blue capitals beneath it and the score '300,000,000' in bright green numerals. Below the display the painted playfield art is a lurid psychedelic monster scene: a grey saucer with a ring of yellow lights hovers centre-top, firing magenta and orange beams downward onto a giant green-blue ape-like monster head with a snarling open mouth and red-ringed eyes, flanked by smaller green serpent and skull creatures. Mid-playfield there is a chrome-rimmed star-gate insert, two large chrome-rimmed pop bumpers with green starburst inserts at left and right, and rows of round red lamp inserts spelling out target banks. The lower playfield is symmetrical, split by two silver flippers, with a red circular 'ATTACK MODE' star medallion between them. The left inlane panel reads 'REVENGE FROM MARS' in dripping red-and-teal letters with a grey fist, and the right panel reads 'PINBALL 2000' inside a white oval. A round medallion with a red cursive script logo sits at bottom centre.

A giant scaly green plant-monster with a fanged, red-eyed bulb head and veined leaf limbs straddles the entire left half of the artwork, looming over a burning city and a fleeing woman.

A wide, backlit pinball backglass with a black starfield sky fading to a burning orange-red horizon over a burning city skyline. Dominating the left half is a colossal green plant-monster: a scaly bipedal creature with a bulbous fanged head, glowing red eyes, a segmented lizard-like torso, and veined leaf-and-vine limbs tipped with blue pod-like bulbs. It towers over a brick city with a tank, a police car marked POLICE with a rooftop siren, a yellow car and a helicopter. Across the bottom centre-right a cluster of five smaller green monsters run forward: a tentacled one, an ape-like one with open jaws, and squat multi-limbed ones. On the right a frightened blonde woman in a torn pale-blue slip dress runs forward clutching a bundle of groceries (a baguette, a boxed item, a fish) against her chest, mouth open in a scream. Above her a green laser beam cuts diagonally from a saucer, exploding a chrome flying saucer into orange fireball fragments. Other chrome saucers, small jets, parachuting figures, a red-haired woman and a dark-haired woman clinging to the monster appear at the left edge. Title lettering across the top reads REVENGE FROM MARS IN 3D in a fiery yellow-to-orange gradient with black outline and white star highlights.

A painted, airbrushed science-fiction horror scene on a red-to-black starfield. Dominating the left half is a colossal green-skinned alien monster, muscled and sinewy, with bulging bloodshot eyes, a wide snarling mouth of sharp white teeth and clawed hands raised; its body is covered in oval, veined, egg-like sacs with a yellow segmented patch on the chest, and a small pale figure clings to its raised shoulder. The title fills the top right in huge slanted block capitals, red shading fading to yellow with a dark outline, and a large bright-green bevelled 3D sits beneath it. On the right, a brunette woman in a torn white dress and yellow high heels kneels, mouth open, one arm flung up, cradling a bundle of green-spotted alien eggs. Flying saucers, one projecting a wide yellow-green searchlight beam, hover over burning city ruins, wrecked police cars, a green tractor and cracked roads. Mid-bottom are two smaller upright green aliens, one firing a gun.
