Arena

Photographed through the playfield glass in its cabinet, brightly lit, with heavy glare streaks from the glass across the left-centre. The artwork is a comic-book, airbrushed fantasy-dungeon scene in hot orange, salmon pink, teal green and dark blue. A three-storey stone castle turret with lit yellow windows sits at upper left beside a clear domed bubble containing a small figure; at upper right is a round porthole-like cabinet or aquarium framed in blue with red round pods and a large circular mechanism. A molten orange-red lava flow runs down the right-hand wall, and a rail-lined track with red balls leads down to a bank of three standup targets. Painted in the middle-lower area are three comic adventurers - a muscular dark-haired man in a blue top lunging forward, a red-haired woman crouching in a tan fur outfit, and a black-haired woman in a dark cut-out swimsuit standing below them - all bursting out of cracked orange rock, with a large teal-blue tentacled sea monster with a fanged mouth looming to their right. Four round multiplier medallions read 8x, 4x, 2x, 1x down the centre. Two white rubber flippers and a round star-emblem drain plate sit at the bottom above a dark grey apron bearing a large tan star logo and a printed instruction card.

Photographed full backbox: a painted backglass sits above a black speaker panel with an alphanumeric dot-matrix-style score display. The glass shows a fantasy gladiator arena in orange and blue. A huge fantasy title logo, orange-to-yellow flame gradient letters with heavy black outline and white rim, arches across the upper half, with a small gold Gottlieb marquee above it at top left. Two muscle-bound warriors stand mid-glass: at left a pale-skinned woman with long shaggy dark hair, a bare midriff, leather briefs, studded armbands and boots, holding a long spear diagonally; at right a bare-chested man in a horned/metal headpiece with war paint, gripping a spear. Behind them a stone arena wall with a row of small snarling goblin faces peering over the top, and iron-ringed skull-shaped masks mounted on the wall. In the lower centre looms a huge hulking grey-blue clawed monster seen from behind, its ridged back and tentacles filling the foreground. Tentacles, skull fragments and bones litter the dusty orange ground. Bottom right carries a Premier Technology logo and copyright line. The art is airbrushed fantasy illustration, mid-1980s in feel.
