Fish Tales

A full-length fishing-themed electro-mechanical playfield photographed in a cabinet, top-lit and slightly hazy with heavy reflections on the clear plastics. At the top is an orange and red hand-painted title banner reading FISH TALES, partly obscured by the ramps and a metal rivet strip. Below it a painted underwater scene of a sunken harbour: a lighthouse on the left, a masted sailing ship and divers in murky green-blue water, a treasure chest and stone ruins. A wire ramp loops from upper left to the right ramp. Down the centre a white speech balloon says COMPLETE STRIKER TO LITE FEED TYPHOON!, above a grinning cartoon angler with a red cap and moustache holding a rod. Four oversized fish tails in green, blue, orange and green fan out across the middle, each on a small plaque reading TAIL TOLD. Below them a red and white banner reads COLLECT 3 JACKPOTS TO WIN A FISH TASTY BOAT, over a row of four inserts reading TROPICAL, FRESHWATER, DEEP SEA and AUTO CAST, with 1X 2X 3X 4X multiplier windows beneath. Blue sea and green water dominate; the lower apron carries two cream rules cards, a QR code and a maker information block.

Painted, airbrushed fishing-comic backglass. A huge green-and-white marbled FISH TALES logo in heavy block letters, dark outline and drop shadow, sits across the upper half against a night sky that runs from black-and-purple storm clouds with forked white lightning on the left to a blazing orange and yellow sunset on the right, with a low snowy mountain range along the horizon. A giant leaping fish dominates the right side, green back with a yellow-orange belly, orange fins and red-ringed eye, mouth agape with white teeth, throwing white spray. On the left, a stocky bearded fisherman in a red hooded raincoat, blue bib overalls, yellow gloves and brown boots leans back hard, hauling an orange-handled gaff while a wooden punt tips over. Airborne in mid-leap are a green tackle box, a red-and-white cooler, a small wooden chair and a second figure in a blue jacket and jeans tumbling backwards with arms flung up. A dark motorboat with a standing angler occupies the mid-right water. Bottom left, a black-and-white orca breaches head-first out of a hole in a spinning green whirlpool. Dominant colours are deep blue, forest green, orange and black, with red accents. A small yellow oval with script lettering sits top left. No score display is depicted; a single dark rectangular blank panel sits at bottom right.
