Notes:

Artist Marc Raneses told us that Morgan Weistling did the backglass art and he believes that Jeff Busch did the playfield art. Marc did the screen print production for the playfield and cabinet.

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 multiball. BatWing cannon rotates & aims across the playfield and fires ball with pistol grip on front of machine. Features genuine speech clips from the movie.

The Manual in our Files section shows on page 130 the Playfield Power Board (PPB) version 520-5021-00. Reportedly, Sega used PPB version 520-5021-05 on this game and on all games from Jurassic Park and later.
