Back to the Future: The Pinball is a 1990 pinball machine designed by Joe Kaminkow, Ed Cebula and released by Data East. It is based on the Back to the Future movie trilogy.
Background
The game features three songs from the first and third movies of the series, The Power of Love and Back in Time, by Huey Lewis and the News and Doubleback, by ZZ Top as well as Alan Silvestri's orchestral theme. Michael J. Fox refused to permit his image to be used to adorn the backglass of the game, so the replacement image of Marty McFly wearing glasses was portrayed by Brad Faris, son of Data East pinball artwork designer Paul Faris.
