Fireball II

Photograph of an electro-mechanical playfield seen from the front, lit dimly in a dark room, with the glass off and the wooden side rails and the top metal ball-guide arch visible around the edges. The playfield is dominated by black and dark brown painted surfaces with hot orange, red and magenta artwork; a large pink-and-magenta chevron arrow shape points down the centre of the lower half, and large pink capital letters spelling PINBALL run across the lower apron area. Two pale rectangular instruction cards are stuck side by side on the lower playfield: the left one headed INSTRUCTIONS in black capitals, the right one headed FIREBALL II, both with small black bullet-point rules. A narrow pink-bordered label reading LITTLE DEMON BUTTON sits at the lower right, and cursive script reading for Amusement Only appears at the lower left beside a small black-and-white QR-code sticker. Red and yellow insert lamps glow through the plastics, and metal rails and a wire ramp run down the right side.

Translucent backglass printed on a single sheet, dominated by a colossal glossy red humanoid devil figure at centre. He is muscular, hairless, with pointed ears, a furrowed brow, bared fangs and a snarling open mouth; orange and yellow flame sheets stream off his shoulders and hips, and a curling red tail with a pointed tip sweeps down the left side. A huge demon head with black-and-magenta striped face, white eyes and sharp teeth occupies the top right corner. Two fiery spherical planets, each with a white starburst spike, sit at lower left and lower centre-right. Four score windows are set in carved gold rococo frames: two across the top, two across the bottom, plus a right-hand panel holding two smaller displays and six labelled inserts. Background is near-black with red, magenta, orange and teal flame swirls; a gold metal rail borders the top and bottom edges.

A rectangular backglass set in a bright yellow painted frame, photographed leaning against a white painted brick/tile wall with strong window reflections across the glossy surface. The artwork is a psychedelic, airbrushed hell scene on a black ground. Across the top, arched, the title FIREBALL II in chunky red capitals with heavy black shading, a yellow outline and a white drop shadow. Centre-left stands one huge red-skinned devil figure, bare-chested and hugely muscled, with small horns, a snarling mouth of white teeth and a single blazing white starburst for an eye; his whole body dissolves into yellow-and-orange flame that streams to the right in ribbons. Around him swirl magenta, purple, cyan and blue flame curls on black. Top right is a second, smaller demon head in purple and magenta with two curved black horns and yellow-rimmed eyes. Grey stone platforms, ledges and columns with black-outlined banding run down both left and right sides, framing four red rectangular instruction panels and two blank white/silver score strip panels. Yellow numerals 2 (right, upper) and 3 (left, lower) label player positions. Overall palette: black, red, yellow, magenta/purple.
