Big House

Solid-state playfield photographed through the glass with wooden cabinet rails down both sides and a cream metal apron plate at the front. The upper third is a dark navy night sky with scattered stars, brick city buildings and rooftops; at top centre block letters read SPECIAL, flanked by two fat red arrows pointing up at it. The lower two-thirds is a bold flat-colour cartoon of a stone prison wall in green, red and ochre, with four round multiplier windows reading 1X, 2X, 4X and 8X set above a row of four glowing amber bumper caps. Below the wall, cartoon convicts in grey-and-white striped prison shirts crowd the bottom, one clutching a bulging sack. Teal ribbon banners run along both lower edges, the right one reading SHAKE JAIL CREAK, and a cream oval at bottom centre reads ESCAPE over a dark circle with AGAIN beneath. Two white flipper bats flank it. Two instruction cards cover the glass at the front, the left headed BIG HOUSE.

A night-time harbour jailbreak scene. Huge curved red capitals with yellow outline and drop shadow read BIG HOUSE across the upper half, over a dark muddy prison yard with a guard tower, barbed wire, a crane arm, a crescent and a full moon. The right half crowds five convicts in black-and-white stripes: a thin man in a rabbit-eared hood leaping through mud, a green-skinned prisoner clutching a dripping bar, a long-faced stubbled man, an orange man in a flat cap with a cigarette, and a broad rat-faced convict gripping a rope. A diagonal filmstrip down the left edge shows three noir stills: a woman in a wide-brimmed hat holding a revolver, a deerstalker detective, and a blonde woman at a desk with a man on a telephone. A translucent blue score window with cyan readouts overlays the lower centre. Dominant colours black, red, grey, cyan.
