Full description

Vertical lit playfield, magenta, purple and blue LEDs over an orange sunset glow across the lower third. A backlit panel at the top shows a huge horned, cloaked monster in a ruined stone courtyard under a cold blue sky. Below it, chrome wireform ramps and a long habitrail snake down both sides past two dark blue circular saucer housings in the top corners. Mid-lower is a circular cobbled stone courtyard framed by stone teeth, holding three pop bumpers: two with glowing red-pink monster faces and one with a red-hooded archer drawing a bow, plus a small silver skull medallion. Above them sits a bank of six pink-red rectangular drop targets around a spoked wagon-wheel medallion. Two white-and-orange flippers flank a blue lit ball-return hole; below it a blue insert reads BALL SAVE with two SHOOT AGAIN banners. The apron shows a silhouetted walled city at sunset, two hooded gargoyle statues with shields and spears, hanging vines, and a torn crimson banner carrying the gold title. A QR code sticker sits lower left; a wood-grain speaker panel with a lit TAP display is below the apron.

Full description

Fantasy adventure backglass artwork filling the frame, enclosed by a broad gold Greek-key (meander) border on black. A red-and-orange sunset sky behind a distant stepped stone temple on a hill, with green trees, dead twisted branches, and two flying bats. Across the upper centre, large gold slab-serif capitals with a heavy black outline read the title, with a small cursive signature above it. Left of centre looms a shaggy brown-maned, grey-skinned horned beast with yellow eyes and protruding tusks. Below it a stout grey-skinned man in a white shirt and brown waistcoat holds a tankard. Beside him a grinning orange-and-white cat-like jester in a blue cap and patchwork coat, and a small white shaggy terrier stands centre-left. The middle and right are packed with goblin, orc, rat and pig-headed warriors wearing riveted steel helmets, some carrying a spear, a pickaxe and a club. Along the bottom edge three helmeted heads rise: a green orc in a red studded cap, a huge pink pig in a steel helmet with big tusks, and another grimacing goblin in a spiked blue-grey helmet. A green many-eyed tentacled creature lurks bottom left, and a torn red standard with a horned goat skull and crossed axes hangs top right.
