TOUCAN'S TRIVIA: This game started out at Milton Bradley as ALIEN ®, and was to be based on the 1979 movie by the same name (could this be the first video game/movie tie-in?). However, the name was later changed to The Attack when TI took over Milton Bradley's MB-1 Game System. Most likely, the name change occured to avoid licencing fees. The only known ALIEN ® prototype is in the posession of former MB employee Anthony Cote.

TOUCAN'S TRIVIA: A prototype version of the game exists with different theme music and some slight variations in gameplay. A complete review of this prototype can be found by clicking on the link to the left. Be sure to check it out since The Attack was one of the more popular TI-99/4A video games and it's always interesting to read up on the lost history of this Milton Bradley classic.
