Back to the Future: The Pinball is a 1990 pinball machine designed by Joe Kaminkow, Ed Cebula and released by Data East, based on the Back to the Future film trilogy.

Background[]

The game features four songs from the three movies. The Power of Love and Back in Time (by Huey Lewis and the News from the first film), Doubleback (by ZZ Top from the third film) and Alan Silvestri's orchestral theme. Michael J. Fox refused to permit his image to be used to adorn the back glass of the game,[2] so the replacement image of his character Marty McFly wearing sunglasses on the game's backglass and playfield was portrayed by Brad Faris, son of Data East pinball artwork designer Paul Faris. Fox's other replacement on the advertising flyer is Joe Kaminkow, one of the pinball game designers. Christopher Lloyd's replacement on the advertising flyer is Gary Stern, former president of Data East Pinball and current CEO of Stern Pinball.[3]
