Oktoberfest

Full-length view down a pinball playfield with a Bavarian beer-festival theme. The playfield is dominated by warm browns: painted wooden beer barrels, casks and mugs clustered in a rough ring through the centre and upper area, sitting on mottled green grass-and-pumpkin ground. A ring of blue fan- or wedge-shaped illuminated inserts encircles the barrel cluster, with round orange/amber inserts between them and a red star-shaped insert at upper centre. At the very top, above the arch of chrome wire rails, is a large illustrated man: fair-skinned, thick black moustache, green alpine hat with a feather, brown lederhosen-style outfit, grinning and holding a foaming beer stein. To his right a painted panel carries curved red OCTOBERFEST lettering and stacked multiplier inserts reading 5XX, 3X and 1X. The bottom of the playfield is a big central wooden keg carrying a curved dark banner with Oktoberfest in blackletter script over PINBALL, with REFILL in red capitals below. Two blue flippers with white star decals and matching star-covered slingshots sit either side. The apron shows a blue-and-white gingham pattern, two white rule cards headed OKTOBERFESTIVAL and OKTOBERFEST, and first-person artwork of hands raising foaming beer glasses.

A full-colour airbrushed backglass on a beer-festival theme. Sky-blue sky across the top with a fairground silhouette of a Ferris wheel, a white-and-blue striped big wheel, roller-coaster track, bunting triangles, helicopters and dozens of coloured balloons, plus a white banner sign reading Biergarten at upper left. A large wooden barrel with orange-brown shingle roof tiles forms the central building, and a cream parchment scroll across the top carries the red dotted-and-gold-outlined word Oktoberfest, with PINBALL ON TAP in black letters on a pale barrel band below and a small METTLER THERMO tap gauge at the centre. A large pale pink wooden score card panel fills the middle, headed by the pink word Zehmeister and listing card values from 50,000 upward to 500,000 beside small round beer-brand badges. At left a large grinning elderly white man with a bushy white beard and moustache, round glasses, a green-trimmed Bavarian hat, green checkered shirt and brown embroidered lederhosen raises an enormous frothing beer stein. At right a blonde young woman in a green bodice, puff-sleeved white blouse, laced pink corset and pink skirt holds a long chain of yellow TICKET strips.

A painted, cartoon-style Oktoberfest beer-hall scene. Centre top: a barrel-topped wooden signboard carrying a curved red script logo with yellow fill and black outline on a cream parchment scroll, reading Oktoberfest, with PINBALL ON TAP in black slab-serif capitals on a wooden band beneath it. A pair of dark iron beer-tap handles with round MEDICO taps sits at the centre of the sign. Below, a timber-framed beer stall with an open serving window showing bottles and rows of steins on shelves; the wooden fascia board across the stall reads BIER BIRRA CERVEZA ... PROSECCO BIRRA in blackletter. Blue-and-white diamond bunting hangs from both red shingled roof peaks. Left wall panel carries red gothic lettering reading Zum alten over a stag head; right wall panel reads PROST in grey gothic capitals over another stag head. Roughly a dozen adults in Bavarian dress crowd the foreground: dirndl-clad women holding one-litre steins, a man in a felt hat with suspenders, a woman in a green dirndl with a stein, a chef in white, a laughing white-bearded man in a striped shirt raising a stein, and a man in a red shirt pointing. Fairground rides, a ferris wheel, balloons and a carousel canopy fill the blue sky behind.
