Flash Gordon

Full-length overhead photo of a played-in pinball playfield under glass, cabinet front edge visible at the bottom, all metalwork and plastics present and lit, with the whole machine bathed in purple and blue LED light. The playfield artwork is dense fantasy/splatter airbrush art on a black ground: a large horned demonic face and clawed hands burst up the centre column, surrounded by cracked yellow starbursts, green slime, red gore-like clouds and orange flame arcs. Three red-and-white concentric pop bumpers sit across the upper-middle. Two clear ramps rise left and right, a wire-gate spinner sits high centre, and a dense cluster of small round drop targets and rollovers fills the centre and lower centre. Two flippers sit low centre either side of a black starburst 'AGAIN' decal. The lower apron is a big pink-purple V carrying the printed word 'PINBALL' in large pink letters, an INSTRUCTIONS card left, a price card right, and script 'Bally' logos on both upper corners.

Illuminated backglass panel in a reddish-brown wooden frame, its printed layer behind reflective glass. The top third is dominated by the title FLASH GORDON in huge italic block capitals, letters filled with a vertical gradient from orange-red at the top to yellow at the feet, each word slanting inward, with a red lightning-bolt spike and a ringed orange planet emblem between them. Upper left: a yellow angular arrow-style emblem above a red neon-style script logo reading Bally. Upper right: the stacked words HIGH SCORE TO DATE. The centre is a painted comic-book scene: a huge muscular fair-haired man in a red sleeveless tunic with a black starburst-and-sun emblem on his chest, clenched fist thrust forward, flanked by a crowned dark-haired woman in ornate gold Eastern headdress and jewellery, and at right a second elaborately headdressed woman in a gold breastplate. Lower centre a bald, goateed man in red with a black beard peers over a horizontal bar. Left of centre a golden winged craft with a bright muzzle-flash bursts forward. Red, black and chrome geometric Art Deco frames fill the background; four rectangular score windows show 00 in amber seven-segment digits.

Rectangular backglass with a black ground and a stepped geometric border of orange, red and yellow chevrons. Across the top, FLASH GORDON is lettered in large slanted red-outlined yellow block capitals, split either side of a banded planet orb, with a red cursive company signature at upper left. Black rectangular score windows with pale seven-segment digit faces are set into the art: two across the top, two along the bottom, and two smaller stacked at mid-right. At centre stands a broad-shouldered, square-jawed blond man in a red sleeveless top bearing a black-and-orange starburst on the chest, fists down at his sides. To his left a blonde woman in an elaborate gilt crown and orange-gold drape. Lower left a small red-and-green suited figure flies horizontally on a swept yellow delta craft, trailing a pink beam, above a green-outlined mechanical engine; below stand two tiny men in pale tunics. Lower right a black-haired woman in a tall spiked headdress stands on a rock, with a green planet, a blue ringed planet, a castle silhouette and a gold rayed craft at the edges. At bottom centre a bald, orange-bearded head rises inside a scarlet ring.
