Though released during [[Theatre/ThePhantomOftheOpera the Broadway musical's]] runaway success, the game is ''not'' licensed from it, but is instead based on the [[Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera original 1911 novel by Gaston Leroux.]] As the Phantom, scurry across the Catwalk, walk behind the Magic Mirror, then arise from the Trap Door behind the stage. Choose between the Scorpion and the Grasshopper, play the Organ and activate its secret passage, then start the three-ball multiball and steel yourself against the sight of the Phantom's disfigured face.
''Phantom'' is considered a beautiful if somewhat simplistic game, with amazing artwork, fantastic music and sound, and a shallow ruleset. It is often recommended for beginning and intermediate players, but many seasoned players also find it a relaxing reprieve with a literary theme that's seldom seen in pinball.
A digital version is available for ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade'' and ''VideoGame/SternPinballArcade''. This is the first Data East table, as well as the first Pre-Stern table to be added in the library.
