This game uses the 68000-based "Sounds Deluxe" sound board. The first pinball machine to have the Buy-In feature of solid state games. The last game introduced by Bally before it was purchased by WMS Industries Inc. Dennis Nordman said 'Blackwater 100' was inspired by Bally Midway's 1988 'Escape from the Lost World' and that its name is licensed. He and Greg Freres went on location to record many of the sounds used on this game.
