Corrected color of Aliens from Black to Red. There were multiple color combinations looked at during development. Final was Red for the adult Aliens.
* As the original Creator, Designer, and Developer at Milton Bradley, Jim Pettingell gave the game the name ''Alien Attack''. Inspired by the movies ''Alien'' (1979) and ''Barbarella'' (1968). When sold to TI, they changed it to ''The Attack''. <ref>{{cite web|title=TI-99/4A Video Game House: The Attack|url=https://www.videogamehouse.net/theattack.html}}</ref>
* A prototype version of the game exists with different theme music and some variations in play. Jim Pettingell’s original game used monolithic colors, Black for the eggs with Red countdown numbers. All Black Red for the aliens. The double-shot from the nibs on the wings are a movie reference. When sold to TI, they updated it with multi-colors to demonstrate the capability of the TI Home Computer. <ref>{{cite web|title=TI-99/4A Video Game House: The Attack|url=https://www.videogamehouse.net/theattack.html}}</ref>
