Force II

A photographed solid-state electro-mechanical playfield seen from above at a slight angle, with the cabinet's front edge and red LED score displays visible below the apron. The art is comic-book science fiction in flat saturated colour on a black starfield speckled with white dots. At the very top a curved yellow-and-red banner reads FORGE II; beneath it the upper playfield holds four small blue posts, a spinner, insert lamps and three large cream-coloured pop-bumper caps in a triangle. The mid-field is dominated by two long yellow-outlined ramp/lane guides that form a narrow V running down to the lower playfield, and by a painted rocket with a pointed nose at centre-left, flanked by red-and-white striped ramp rails and gold star-burst patterns. Two painted figures face inward: on the left a red-haired woman in a yellow jumpsuit with a blue sash and dark glasses, mouth open; on the right a bulky blue-suited figure in a white helmet with a yellow visor. The lower playfield is a big orange, red and black explosion cloud under the rocket. The apron is black with a large green star carrying a yellow 80, flanked by a white instruction card and a replay panel, plus a cream company signature.

A square backglass in a heavy black frame, printed with a comic-book/cel-animation style space-station interior. The top edge is dominated by a huge title in thick red block capitals with cream and black outlining, set against a dark starfield; small red cursive script reading 'Gottlieb’s' sits at the top left, and small white-outlined numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4 mark the four player positions around the glass. Four sets of score displays are scattered across the art — three white mechanical reels reading 000 and one seven-segment alphanumeric window glowing cyan, each in a grey bezel. The scene shows a control room packed with consoles: blue-screen monitors, banks of red, yellow and green round buttons, a yellow oval radar-like dial, printed card/keypad graphics and a green radar sweep, all drawn in flat outlined colour. Three human figures stand in the foreground: two identical helmeted men in pale grey-blue spacesuits with pointed gold visors and black eye slits, one standing full height at centre left, a second crouching lower centre; and a bare-armed woman at centre right in a sleeveless cream leotard with long dark hair, one hand raised. A yellow-gloved black-sleeved arm reaches in from the right edge. Behind them a huge orange-and-yellow fireball explosion rises through a magenta planet, with green-and-cream starfighters and grey wedge-shaped ships silhouetted against the stars.
