I recently finished shopping and adding LED's to my DE BTTF and I thought I would ask why this game is rated so low.

I know am biased since I grew up with it in my favorite pizza place in my hometown and was willing to drive 1500 miles to get one, but hear me out.

I get that the ruleset isn't the deepest, but it also isn't as simple as some would make it out to be. There are a few different strategies you can use.

1. You can focus on knocking down the drop targets and locking balls for multiball then drop the targets again in multiball and hit either ramp for the 2015 or 1885 (depending on which ramp) jackpot that progressively goes up as you drop the targets and hit the ramps from 500K to 1 million.

2. You can focus on hitting the MCFLY targets to increase the Casino spinner (which also randomizes the clocktower bonus).

3. You can hit the DOC targets to increase the multiplier.

4. You can hit the ramps to spell DELOREAN and get the million per ramp bonus (Deloean Millions), or you can hit the Clocktower shot to achieve bonuses (such as extra ball, 100K, Turbo Bumpes, etc) and the 500K century bonus for getting all of the Clocktower bonuses in one ball.

5. The Skill Shot requires you to hit the left ramp within a certain timeframe and before any other switch is activated, not a bad skill shot in my book, but not great either. The double your score skill shot bonus only applies to a score of less than 700k and it is random, you may get the 100k, 200k, 300k, or Extra ball.

6. The music is amazing! The BTTF theme, 2 Huey Lewis and the News tracks (my favorite band of all time), and a ZZ Top track. Not to mention all of the great callouts.

So other than not liking Data East and the lack of Michael J. Fox, what am I missing? Personally I love the machine and it will never leave my collection.

Thanks! It took me a couple tries to get the right Delorean, but the one 1:43 scale on tracks works perfect in that spot since there are track graphics down the shooter lane. Also, the hoverboard worked perfect since it's right next to the hoverboard art scene.

The blue XPin display was in it when I bought it and it came with a NOS backglass in perfect condition.

The Pepsi Perfect stickers are probably my cheapest and favorite mod. Pepsi Perfect Pingulp...Perfect!

I was thinking of making a custom topper out of an actual Delorean license plate bezel (perfect size), and add a future license plate to it and light it somehow, but they tend to sell a bit high. One of these days...

Nice looking game. Love the extras. I have a working flux capacitor and the 2015 holographic hat by them...they're great.

Thanks! I have seen those flux capacitors, a bit spendy for the replicas but it would be a great topper!

Also here is a pic of the light show right before Multiball.
