Backbox & Videomode
It is unknown wether any backbox ornaments were available for this machine.
Snarf! The four flipper buttons controll a 'pacman-like' creature that bounces around the Dot Matrix Display. Pick up the floating dots and score big points! In round two, one of the floaters is the EB (Extra Ball), which makes finishing Round One very worthwile.
Noteworthy features
- "Cyber Matrix Ball Lock" assembly, featuring nine slots that each hold a 'per-game-random' award.
- Magnetic hand assembly that 'catches' the ball. The player can then move the hand over the "Cyber Matrix" with the four flipper buttons and release the ball into one of the nine slots.
Trivia
The Johnny Mnemonic movie didn't become the blockbuster movie that Williams may have hoped for when obtaining the license, and the machine is heavily underrated. The same thing that happened to "The Shadow" machine. The fast gameplay, cool sounds (although not 'customly' sampled from the real actors)and incredibly fun rulesheet make this one of those "must have played" machines. Put in some money when you see one!
