Note that by 30 years ago, they are talking about the Tim Burton adaptation from 1996, which was 10-15 years ago, and not the 1966 trading cards, which where in fact about 30-50 years ago.

Your maths seems a little off. The film is 29 years old, not 10-15 years

No, we must face reality that we are getting old. I know it sucks :(

I’m pretty sure it was about 5 years ago. Great movie!

IIRC the game is based on the Mars Attacks trading card, not the Mars Attacks! movie. The movie is also based on the original trading cards, but the game devs could not buy the rights to the movie.
So this article is a bit misleading, I guess it will be updated when someone from Warner Bros notices it.

Those cards gave me nightmares, but the movie was hilarious. The intervening years were a definitely a factor, though.

"... based on a 30-year-old sci-fi movie ..." Thanks for calling me old.

I remember posts about this earlier in the community, glad to see it turned out good. Wonder what came of the volunteer-submitted VA.
