Joust

A photographed electronic pinball playfield seen through smoked glass, with a medieval jousting theme in a bright turquoise, red, yellow and blue palette. At the top a red ribbon banner reads GAME OVER in yellow block capitals, flanked by a three-turret castle on the left and a grey stone castle wall and tower on the right. Three round pop bumpers with white starburst faces and red rings are marked 10, 10 and 100. Down the upper right sits a blue 3x3 grid of drop targets numbered 1 to 9, each with a small white target lamp. The centre of the field is dominated by a large red, white and blue heraldic shield printed with LIGHTING 7-8-9 SCORES and the numbers 1 to 9 around a yellow centre, above LIGHTING 110 SCORES 3000. Below it a stylised blue-and-black striped horse head in a chamfron bridle faces right, with a brass hunting horn above. On the left a helmeted knight in chain mail and a plumed helm stands holding a lance; on the right a jester in a red and blue fool's costume with a jingling cap holds a horn, beside a small yellow castle-roof sign reading OPENS LOCKED DOOR. Two red-and-white rubber-tipped flippers sit above a chrome apron with black plastic lockdown bar; the cabinet front is blue with silver pinstriping.

Flat-illustrated backglass for an electro-mechanical medieval jousting game. Upper left: a huge yellow gothic blackletter title lettered loust on a navy plaque with a black castle skyline behind, and a cursive script logo on a dark pennant beside pink circles reading 1 OR 2 over cream CAN PLAY. Right third: a mustard-yellow castle wall with three arrow-slit windows showing a peeking guard in a pink-plumed helmet, faint numerals 7 and 9, and a blue-and-white harlequin pattern. Below, two reel score displays, 1st PLAYER reading 17220 and 2nd PLAYER 00000, split by a frieze of three onlookers: a trumpeter in blue, a woman in a white pointed headdress, a man in a purple robe and red cap. Below them a magenta banner, shield crest flanked by two sea-green serpents. The lower two thirds is a joust: a knight in teal plate armour and plumed helm drives a lance rightward behind a magenta shield of yellow fleurs-de-lis, a second knight in blue-grey armour tumbling off a gold-maned yellow horse, and a blond figure in a teal doublet at right holding a red-and-white striped shield.

A landscape-format illustrated backglass in a flat 1970s airbrushed/comic style. The upper left third is sky-blue with a huge yellow Gothic blackletter title on a bright blue banner, a black square manufacturer logo panel above it, and a red-and-white roundel legend reading 1 OR 2 CAN PLAY. Black silhouettes of a gothic cathedral, spire and battlements run across the pale turquoise sky. The right third is a tan/orange castle tower with three narrow leaded windows; in an upper window a small figure in a blue cap peers out. Two white score windows are set into the tower wall, labelled 1st PLAYER and 2nd PLAYER in black block capitals, the top one showing the digits 0 5 5 3 1. The lower half is a chaotic joust: a knight in pale blue plate armour with a plumed helmet rides a yellow-green horse at the left, a large white horse with orange mane rears centre-right with a lance, and a blond youth in blue kneels at the lower right clutching a red-and-white striped shield. A rearing orange horse and a striped orange-and-yellow jester/standard fill the middle. A small red box reading BALL IN PLAY sits at the left edge.
