'''Asteroid Annie and the Aliens''' is a 1980 Creator/{{Gottlieb}} [[PhysicalPinballTables arcade pinball game]] designed by John Buras and illustrated by Creator/GordonMorison. The game is as straightforward as the name -- TokenHuman Annie is playing poker against her alien companions, and she needs your help to assemble a winning hand. Use the rollovers to select a suit, then hit the various drop targets to collect tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces. Collect extra balls along the way so Annie can keep taking her martian marks to the cleaners.

Compared to other pinball games of the time, ''Asteroid Annie'' is a low-budget throwback, verging on {{Retraux}} -- it is strictly a one-player game, with a single level, no multiball, no bonus multipliers, and no jackpots. The game was created strictly as an economical way for Gottlieb to use up various legacy parts and controllers, and only 211 tables were made. Even so, it's become a CultClassic among fans of Gottlieb electro-mechnical games; the clean layout and simple rules belie some very difficult shots that challenge even veteran players. ''Annie'' was also the final pinball game drawn by Gordon Morison, and the incredibly detailed and gorgeous artwork is considered a fitting GrandFinale to his career.
