Hook

Illuminated pinball playfield shot in a dark room, dominated by a treasure-and-pirate storybook scene in gold, crimson red and deep blue. A large red wire ramp with yellow LED bulbs snakes from the lower left up across the upper playfield in a big loop over a painted island harbour of masts, rigging and glowing gold coin piles. Down the centre sits a cream parchment scroll letter beginning 'Dear Pat,' in black Gothic script, signed 'Wash' and 'Governor'. Overlapping the right of the scroll is a scarlet-coated male pirate figure with black hair, moustache and an eyepatch, gripping a red object, flanked by large painted playing cards (red hearts and a face card) tilted as if dealt from a deck. The lower playfield is crowded with two gold winged lion or griffin statues facing inward, a large crowned shield emblem at bottom centre, blue water and a pale blue gemstone skull motif, and two small male colonial figures in tan coats and tricorn hats standing at left and right above the slingshots. Two illuminated triangular slingshots glow red and yellow. The lower apron carries a cream RULES instruction card, a black-and-white blocky logo panel, a white ownership sticker and a SKILL SHOT panel. Plastic ramps, chrome guides and posts cover much of the art.

Illuminated backglass divided into three horizontal registers. The centre register is dominated by the title Hook, set in enormous blackletter capitals filled deep red with a heavy gold-and-orange outline and dark drop shadow, sitting on a curling orange parchment banner decorated with flame motifs; a small TM sits upper right of the word. To the left of the title a dark-skinned man in a white-feathered tricorne hat and a scarlet coat with gold trim laughs with his mouth wide open, gold chains at his chest; stacked barrels and a hanging cutlass sit behind him at the far left edge. To the right only the lower half of a standing figure is shown: green tunic, brown belt, green boots, a sheathed sword, with a large golden grinning skull at the far right edge. The top register is a narrow frieze of small vignettes in blue-grey and gold: a cobwebbed dark window, a white-ruffed jester, a golden bedroom with a bed and framed pictures, a child glowing in a pool of light, and at the right a young man in a leafy green tunic with arms flung wide before a huge orange sun disc. The bottom register shows, left to right, booted legs in a long red coat with gold trim, a full-length man in a wide-brimmed hat and long brown coat with red breeches, a huge gilded ship figurehead with a grinning face and a caged lantern, a curly-haired boy in a red-and-gold tunic, and a ragged crowd of crewmen with raised fists and grubby faces.
