    description
    *Five Martians* is a pinball machine from [[manufacturer:ceff]], a mechanical-engineering firm in [[location:italy/pc/piacenza]]. As its name announces, the game took a science-fiction subject of invading Martians — the [[theme:aliens]] motif that ran through pinball's electromechanical years. The Italian pinball archive records the machine in more than one form: at least two versions are known from an old dealer leaflet, one built with conventional mechanical score reels, the other reworked to score into the millions.[1] A second name, "Joker Ball", appears beside it in the same record, unresolved even there — whether a separate CEFF machine or merely a feature within *Five Martians* itself.[2]

    non e' chiaro se e' il nome di un secondo modello, o solo il nome di una caratteristica di gioco del "Five Martians"

    tilt.it gives no year and no technology for Five Martians; it notes two versions exist (score reels vs. millions scoring), a distinction left to the record description rather than asserted as separate models.
