[DML] BTTF Pinball

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxx>]

As a birthday present, my wife Patti just gave me a Data East's "Back to
the Future: The Pinball." I can't believe it, but as near as I can tell
we've never discussed the details of BTTF pinball on the DML before. It
is a *great* acquisition for any DeLorean fan.

This machine has DeLorean pictures all over it! To get it into
multiball play you need to light up the letters D M C and with each
letter you hear the DeLorean horn blow. At other times you hear a
DeLorean engine revving. And to get the big million point bonuses you
need to light up the letters D E L O R E A N. Fittingly, these are
called the "DeLorean Millions."

Some interesting details of the artwork: One of the bumpers looks like
a real, stock DeLorean speedometer! It only goes up to 85 MPH, although
the needle is showing 88. In the large backboard picture, the DeLorean
has an Illinois license plate (instead of California) which says FUSION
(instead of OUTATIME). Data East is headquartered in Illinois.

If anyone wants to know about the non-DeLorean features of the machine I
will be happy to discuss them by private E-mail. It's artwork covers
all three BTTF movies, and during play the machine says many movie lines
(in the character's voices) and it plays music by Huey Lewis and others.
