Secret Service

Full-length pinball playfield seen under glass in a wooden cabinet, photographed from above and lit by a bright overhead strip that throws a wide white glare band across the upper third. The art is a dense hand-painted secret-agent/crime thriller scene: a white-domed neoclassical capitol building sits in the middle distance beneath a red-brick and yellow city skyline, with dark alley and warehouse shapes behind. Dominating the centre is a large gold oval medallion ringed with black star badges (each printed with multipliers such as 7X, 6X, 2X, 4X, 3X, 5X and 25K), containing a spread-winged American eagle with a red-white-and-blue striped shield on its breast and a white scroll reading ALL SCORES DOUBLE. Two male secret agents in tan trench coats and brimmed hats flank the medallion, one beside a red 1950s open-top roadster and one beside a black saloon car, both standing on grey clouds. Green wire ramps and chrome ball guides snake down both sides; a blue dome pop bumper and a red mushroom bumper sit left of centre, four red rectangular drop targets form a bank in the middle, and two orange-glowing circular saucer lamps sit just above the flippers. The lower apron is bright red with white-and-blue star-bordered instruction cards and a yellow-and-red script logo.

A photographic-composite action backglass. Top strip: a red-and-white horizontal banner carrying the huge title in gold serif capitals with a black outline and dark drop shadow, flanked by rows of small blue five-pointed stars above and below; at the far left of the banner sits a small gold silhouetted handgun-and-coin emblem. Above it, upper left, a red-and-white DATA EAST logo block. Centreed behind the title is a painted night-time view of a large white domed capitol building with lit windows. Below the banner, on a dark smoky street: a blonde woman in a sparkly gold halter top and pale trousers stands braced in the open door of a low red sports car, arm outstretched firing a pistol, muzzle flash glowing orange. Beside her a dark-haired man in a suit leans out of the driver's window also aiming a handgun. To the right, three men in yellow-gold shirts crouch in the bed of a dark open-top car, aiming rifles, one firing with an orange muzzle flash. A distant figure in white stands near the capitol steps. Blue-white smoke plumes fill the right side. Four black rectangular alphanumeric score windows with faint blue-green seven-segment digits sit low centre and low right. A copyright line and a watermark occupy the bottom-right corner.
