Magic Girl

Convention-hall photograph taken from the player side, showing the whole upper playfield and the lit backbox above it. The playfield is a chaotic comic-book fantasy in deep violet, electric blue, magenta and gold, with a large rectangular LCD window set into the upper playfield reading POTION / COMPLETED, flanked by PLAYER 5 and BALL 1 indicators. Large chunky yellow capital letters spelling BUBBLE run across the lower playfield between two cartoon female figures. Painted art includes a long-haired red-haired woman in a red hooded robe, a blue-skinned bearded wizard in a pointed hat, a horned demon, a huge disembodied blue hand gripping a staff, and a pack of snarling blue humanoid faces along the bottom edge. Two flippers sit at the bottom with a red playfield plunger and round orange-gold bumper rings above them. The backbox art repeats the wizard, a blue hand, floating black orbs and a demon on a pink-and-violet starfield. The glass is lit in blue, pink and red, causing strong coloured reflections across the playfield.

Saturated, airbrushed fantasy-comic backglass in magenta, cyan, teal and gold. Across the top a row of six silvered spheres, each rimmed in pink, carries one mirrored letter of the title, so the name reads right-to-left as M-A-Z-O-I-C in blocky blue-and-magenta capitals on a white, moonlit gradient disc. A tall magenta triangle outline frames the centre. Inside it stands a young woman with enormous flowing blue hair, heavy blue eye-shadow, pink lips, a pink-and-gold strappy costume and a chain of white bones draped over one raised arm; her hands are bound in silvery rope. Two identical teal-green, hollow-eyed warrior figures in gold-and-white striped armour flank her at upper left and mid right, one carrying a curved blade. A gold angular tower with a clock face rises behind the right figure, and a greenish domed planet sits above it. On the far right a large orange-and-yellow winged reptilian creature with a beaked snout rears up, mouth open. Left of centre a teal hand and curling tentacles rise beside a small hourglass and a stone pedestal bearing a grid of gold chess-king pieces. The lower left holds a yellow cat and a small orange animal; an ornate gold lamp/urn with a curled handle sits at bottom centre. Two round black speaker grilles with gold sunburst rims sit in the bottom corners. Scattered throughout are chrome ball orbs, yellow stars, a white and orange card-like plaque on the right, and a dark cavern arch of pink stalactites at right edge.

A backglass on an electric magenta-pink background with heavy black outlines, comic airbrush shading and scattered chrome bubble orbs. Across the top, large chrome-rimmed circular medallions carry blue block capitals spelling ZIDDANE, with a star replacing one letter and a dark blue five-pointed star behind the row. Centre frame is a pale-skinned woman with enormous wavy blue hair, pink lips, dark eye makeup, gold shoulder armour, a red and gold breastplate, hoop earrings and a flower hair ornament; she faces front with both arms thrust out, gripping heavy silver chains that run down to two round chrome discs in the bottom corners. Upper left stands a grimacing blue-skinned warrior in a horned gold helmet and golden pauldrons, one arm raised holding a sword. Around them: a pale blue serpent winding up the left side, an open book on a stand, an orange-and-cream dragon with folded wings on the right, a smaller blue figure at lower right, two ginger cats at the bottom, a distant pale castle tower, a playing-card motif and star bursts. A black cabinet frame edges the piece and reflections streak the glossy surface.
