As a premiere pinball, ''The Atarians'' is notable for some unusual design decisions, such as the two pairs of stacked flippers and the use of inductive under-playfield sensors instead of rollover switches. Unfortunately, anything about the Atarians themselves are lost to the mists of time, as none of the game rules, instruction manuals, or promotional material give any indication as to who they are or what is going on. Who are The Atarians? Why are there two of them? What is the futuristic landscape seen behind them? Who is the long-faced blue alien with the flaming hair on the backglass? Are those yellow-skinned folks in the purple tights his {{Mooks}} or his captors? Why doesn't the female Atarian use her sword? Why are we asking all these questions?

!!''The Atarians'' demonstrates the following tropes:
* HumanoidAliens
* JetPack: The Atarians are each wearing one to allow them to fly through space.
* {{Mooks}}: The yellow-skinned bald humanoids with the purple jumpsuits. Maybe.
* NoPlotNoProblem
* RayGun: The male Atarian welds one.
* SpellingBonus: Spelling ATARI (via the five saucers at the top of the playfield) doubles the bonus, while EXTRA BALL [[CaptainObvious awards an extra ball.]]
