description: "Captain Fantastic" was a "Tommy-inspired game picturing Elton John as pinball champ Captain Fantastic. David Christensen did the artwork for this Bally game, using a lot of bright reds and blues. Piano keyboards appeared throughout the game, which was one of the first featuring custom-designed bumper caps with drawings of Elton John's face. The back glass pictured a crowd scene based on Tommy." This game also features mirror lines worked into the back glass art for a dazzling reflective effect." information: Two plays for a quarter. The background crowd features some of the artists friends as well as Hitler. "Greg Kmiec created the playfield design, which has a pleasing, uncluttered arrangement of targets and bumpers, plus four flippers." Flower & Kurtz, Pinball. 1988. |
