Background

The game features four songs from the three movies. The Power of Love and Back in Time (by Huey Lewis and the News for the first film), Doubleback (by ZZ Top for 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, so the replacement image of his character Marty McFly wearing sunglasses on the backglass and playfield on the pinball game was portrayed by Brad Faris, son of Data East pinball artwork designer Paul Faris. Michael J. Fox's 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.[2]
