A full-length playfield shot from above under glass, with the whole lower playfield and apron visible. The lower two-thirds is dominated by a huge glossy red-and-orange fireball explosion graphic with a large black-and-white wide-toothed grinning head at its centre, ringed by radiating spikes.

Full description

A full-length modern pinball playfield photographed under glass from directly above, with tan wooden cabinet side rails down both edges. A long ball path runs from the upper left, across the top arc, and down a large sweeping wire-form ramp and habitrail on the upper right that returns the ball to the mid-field. The centre is dominated by a painted illustration in hot orange, amber and red, reading as flame or molten metal, bleeding outwards over a dark, gritty, speckled background. Insert lamps sit in neat geometric rows across the middle, with a horizontal illuminated bar and a circular emblem at centre. Chrome posts, stand-up targets and rubber-sleeved posts form the mid-field obstacles, while metal guide rails snake down the right edge into the lower playfield. The lower third opens out around a pair of yellow-and-black flippers with slingshots either side, above a dark lower apron carrying an orange instruction card with a QR code at the left. Dominant colours: black, orange, red, silver and yellow.
