Fingerprint: Photograph of skewed backglass inside cabinet showing SunSide in flowing script on diagonal cream banner, 2 PLAYERS in block text, tanned swimmers in sea water, red-white speedboat cutting through turquoise water, palm trees and island headland, bathers at right edge, seaside recreation theme, mid-century comic-book colour palette
The most memorable feature is the large diagonal cream banner running across the middle of a water-sports scene, with 'SunSide' in white flowing script outlined in navy and '2 PLAYERS' above it. The artwork is photographed at a sharp angle inside a chipped white cabinet frame, with a loose chrome ball and metal coin-door hardware visible along the bottom edge. A small white panel labelled 'PLAYERS' with two blue circular dials is tucked at mid-left, and a partly cropped slogan box reading 'Haz mas FUN!' sits at the bottom right. The stacked manufacturer credit 'BILLIARDINO ELECTRONICO COTTRELL' is printed in small black capitals directly under the title.

Photograph of a pinball backglass lying at a steep angle inside a cream/white painted cabinet frame, so the artwork is seen skewed with the lower edge nearer the camera. The artwork is a bright mid-century seaside/water-sports scene painted in flat comic-book colour: a broad pale-blue sea and sky fills most of the panel, with green headlands, pink and mauve beach hills, palm trees, a distant island and small red-roofed buildings along the right shore. In the centre, a large diagonal cream-coloured banner carries the word 'SunSide' in flowing white script with a dark navy outline, with '2 PLAYERS' above it in block capitals ('2' in green, the rest in dark blue) and the stacked black caps credit 'BILLIARDINO ELECTRONICO COTTRELL' beneath. Left of the banner, two tanned figures in swimwear stand in the water: a bare-chested dark-haired man in white trunks and a blonde woman in a two-piece, one arm raised. Lower centre-right a red-and-white speedboat cuts through the water, with a figure in a red top and another in pink aboard. More bathers stand waist-deep at the far right, one in a red swimsuit, and a small pale figure stands on the beach near a red-framed sign. Two blue-bordered rectangular panels with irregular white shapes sit at the top left and top right, and a small white panel printed 'PLAYERS' with two blue circular dials sits mid-left. Bottom right, in a white rounded box, is the partly cut-off slogan 'Haz mas FUN! No Comp...' in bold black. Overall palette: pale sky blue, cream white, tomato red, leaf green.
