Holding the left flipper when pressing the START button initiates a game of Digital Pinball.
Holding down the right flipper button when pressing START reveals on the display some useful codes for the Mortal Kombat 3 video game.

In John Popadiuks' article in the July 2000 issue of GameRoom Magazine, he stated that all of the prototype games have an Up-post between the flippers (labeled "Magic Post"). Also, he stated this game originally was going to be 'The Magic of David Copperfield' and the playfield design for this theme commenced while pursuing the license. The game was modified when the license did not happen.

Per information from Dave Zabriskie, the male voice was performed by Mike Wadswoth, a good friend of his and an opera singer. The female voice was performed by Cathy Schenkelberg, an accomplished film/stage actor and comedian.
