Full description

A brightly lit, heavily chromed playfield shot at a slight angle, with the lower two thirds dominated by a large yellow-orange sunburst of radiating purple and teal rays. Across the middle sits a big bubble-letter script logo reading AUSTIN POWERS in yellow-to-orange gradient letters with a heavy black outline. Around the sunburst is an arc of white circles carrying black numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 1000, 500, 400, 300, 200), and a white oval in the middle reads Bonus HOLD over a yellow sun face. Three human figures are painted: a bald man in a shiny silver suit with arms thrown wide on the left, a tall dark-haired man in a black suit striding to the right of centre, and a grinning man with heavy brows and round tinted glasses on the right. Painted on both lower corners are dense flower collages in pink, blue, orange and white. Up top are two more men: one in a rust-orange suit at the upper left, one in a tan/brown suit lower on the left rail, plus a chrome-rimmed globe. A vertical column of glowing red numbers 1967, 1968 and 1977 runs down the upper centre beside a stack of round orange lenses.
