Batman Forever is a pinball machine released in June 1995 by Sega Pinball. It is based on the motion picture of the same name.
Features
[edit]The game uses the 192x64 "supersize" dot matrix display with a Motorola 68000-based 16-bit controller. It features several electric-green wireform ramps with the "Batcave" escape ramp extending down behind the flippers and over the playfield apron, releasing balls up the playfield during multi ball. The "Batwing" cannon rotates & aims across the playfield and fires the ball with a pistol grip on front of the machine. Speech clips from the film are used. Additionally, the game had a video mode in which the Batmobile is guided over rooftops, dodging obstacles to earn bonus points. [2]
The backglass shows Val Kilmer as Batman, with other cast members in character.[3]
Layout
[edit]The game includes four ramps.[4]
