Alien Star

Wide triangular steel playfield, black with dense white star-speckle and heavy gold, orange and cream pinstriping forming rails and lane guides. Colours: black, gold/orange, cyan-teal, red. A huge cyan line-art alien crouches down the centre, domed head, ribbed torso, long clawed arms, its head ringed by round targets. Above it three white-domed pop bumpers in a triangle, then a red bank of six upright oval targets with a pink lamp. A yellow top banner sits over a printed flying saucer with a domed grid. The left edge carries a 2X/3X/5X multiplier ladder and a yellow SPOTTED ALIEN WINS CHOSEN arrow; the right edge has a column of round lamps. Two cream flippers below a magenta HOLE BONUS / SHOOT AGAIN circle, a winking yellow smiley decal left of the drain, a black HOW TO PLAY card at lower left and a black-and-gold maker plate at lower right. Chrome posts, wireform rails and the wooden side rail frame the field.

Landscape backglass dominated by huge interlocking title lettering across the whole top: 'AlienStar', with an oversized capital A whose left leg sweeps down into a broad orange-to-pale-yellow gradient stroke, and a tall S in Star, all letters filled with a cream-to-orange vertical gradient, thin dark keyline and orange outline, drawn over a deep navy-to-black starfield speckled with white star dots. Upper right sits a yellow oval badge with black lettering reading 'A Gottlieb PINBALL GAME'. The centre figure is a large orange-and-black hooded, faceless alien/robed being, outlined in thick black, with two pointed horn-like shapes flanking its cowl and its hands holding a glowing orange-red starburst at chest height; a dense cyan machine-like maze or scaffolding of technical linework fans out symmetrically behind its shoulders like wings. Yellow diagonal beams and a blue architectural structure of girders, conduits and a bridge railing sweep across the lower half and sides, with a bright yellow planet-like disc at the right edge. Four grey-framed dot-matrix alphanumeric score windows show cyan-green digits (144288, 758220 upper pair; 160110, 4477430 lower pair) with unlit ghost segments beside them. Centre bottom reads BALL IN PLAY over a 20 / 99 window pair with CREDITS and MATCH beneath. Bottom-right corner carries tiny white copyright print, 'All Rights Reserved', Made in wording and a small boxed X logo. Condition: minor scratches and reflections on the protective glass, wood frame visible at edges.

A backglass with a huge four-line-free, single-line title logo across the top reading 'Alien Star' in fat rounded white-and-pale-cyan bubble letters with a heavy black outline and a thin yellow inline accent; the letters stretch almost the full width and sit on a deep blue star-field sprinkled with white dots. Below, dead centre, stands one tall alien figure drawn in flat yellow and black only, an upright torso with legs spread, arms folded across the chest, a domed helmet-like head with a dark face and small white eye slits. Flanking it are two cyan-blue line-art alien heads, one on each side, drawn as glowing wireframe or hologram outlines among the stars. The lower half is a black star field criss-crossed by thick yellow diagonal stripes and angular blue-and-cyan mechanical/geometric line work suggesting circuitry or a corridor. Four dark rectangular green 7-segment alphanumeric windows are mounted across the middle band, two on the left and two on the right, with two smaller green windows centred lower down. The centre two read BALL IN PLAY and CREDITS and MATCH. Art style is flat airbrushed 1970s science-fiction vector illustration with heavy black keylines.
