ipdb.notes: IPDB According to an interview published in the Pinball Trader, designer Jon Norris printed fifteen promotional flyers for this game and naturally gave them all away. We previously identified this game as 4-player but then asked Jon about it. He comments:Tour de France was indeed a 2-player game, made in 1984. The backglass had a bagatelle unit that took up a lot of space, so I had the dip switch on the CPU board set to 2-player mode. There were only two displays, plus the ball-in-play display. The game also featured full background music (prior to High Speed and Hollywood Heat) using a boom box with an endless cassette tape that was activated using the flipper-enable relay. The game was a hybrid solid state (using Stern 'Stars') and electro-mechanical (using Gottlieb step units that lit a special). used
ipdb.notable_features: IPDB Flippers (4), Pop bumpers (2), Spinning target (1). This game contained both EM relays and SS circuitry. Sound: 4 chimes. Whenever the flippers were active, a cassette player (in a boom box inside the cabinet) would play the Kraftwerk song "Tour de France" as background music. used
