Spy Hunter

A photographed 1970s electro-mechanical playfield seen from above behind a scratched, dust-filmed metal front rail, lit dimly so the plastics glow blue and magenta. The art is a militaristic collage in blue, purple, red and black: a huge painted portrait of a long-haired, bearded man grinning fills the lower centre, with a smiling dark-haired woman in a low-cut bodysuit leaning at his shoulder, a masked hooded soldier upper right, and small gunmen, a pilot and a jet fighter scattered across the field. Painted landmarks include a large red-outlined Eiffel Tower on the right, a blue orbital ramp curving down the left, a bank of red card-shaped targets inside a red starburst, and a five-window vertical reel strip printed 25,000 to 200,000. A column of round alphabet lamps A to M runs down the left. Text mixes French and English: 'ENTREE DE JEU' by the plunger lane and 'FLIPPER CHANGES WEAPONS WAREHOUSE LIGHTS' in yellow at bottom right, with a winged manufacturer logo and 'For Amusement Only' on the left apron. Rails and wood are visibly worn and grimy.

A painted, late-1980s-style pinball backglass in a black cabinet bezel, framed by a broad blue outer border with a thin red pinstripe inside it. Across the top, in large chrome-outlined block capitals with a red-to-orange-to-yellow horizontal gradient, is the word SPY HUNTER; a small blue cursive 'Bally' over MIDWAY sits just above the SPY at the upper left. The central art is dominated by two large portrait heads: a stern dark-haired man in a dark blue-black turtleneck at centre-right, and a brunette woman with wind-swept hair and pink lips just behind his left shoulder. Below them a full-body version of the woman stands centre, wearing a green top with yellow trim and red trousers, arm outstretched holding a silver handgun aimed left. A red-and-white motorcycle with a large spoked front wheel fills the lower left, and two low sleek sports cars in pale blue and white, one with a bold red stripe, sit at the bottom centre and right. Yellow and orange criss-crossing light beams radiate from the centre across a dark background; orange flame or explosion shapes rise along the bottom edge. Rectangular score windows are inset at top left, top right, lower left and lower right.

Illuminated backglass with a two-word logo across the top reading BATTLE ZONE in huge chunky italic capitals, lettered with a red-orange to bright yellow vertical gradient, thick dark outline and a heavy bevelled 3D block shadow in red and dark grey. The background is a deep blue-black outer space scene overlaid with a pale blue square grid, scattered white star dots, several dark shadowed planet spheres, a small blue-lit planet top right and a red-orange glow along a low horizon line at the left. Dominating the centre is a large white and pale-yellow futuristic armoured vehicle or spacecraft, drawn in three-quarter view from above, tilted diagonally with its nose to the upper left. It carries two enormous cylindrical cannon barrels pointing up and left, ringed with ribbed bands and open dark bores; a dark green tinted windscreen and a second green screen panel on the flank; a green star roundel on a white side plate; a small American flag decal; a small round radar dish on the right; landing pads instead of wheels; and an open hatch with a tiny helmeted pilot figure inside. Four rectangular red seven-segment score windows read 364900, and a smaller mid-right window reads 09. A thin diagonal rod with dashes runs to the lower right, and a small blue artist signature sits at bottom right.
