Wild Fyre

Full view of a single-level electro-mechanical playfield photographed under glass, lit with warm orange and blue LEDs, with the cream-and-gold lower apron and the coin door edge visible at the bottom. Layout is strongly symmetrical. The centre of the field is dominated by a large airbrushed gold-and-orange flame motif wrapped around a reclining blonde woman with long flowing hair, flanked by two yelbow wireform ramps. Three pop bumpers sit in a triangle up high, each capped with a yellow-and-white sunburst disc bearing a black star. The upper playfield is reached by two chrome ball guides and carries a winged circular medallion at top centre with a row of three round inserts beneath it. Ornate Art Nouveau style throughout: cream, gold, orange and pale blue filigree, red, white and blue radiating sunburst corners, and small shield crests in each top corner. Painted side art shows a woman in a red costume at the left and a woman in a dark outfit at the right. Lower playfield has two white flippers, a lit green round insert, target banks, a horseshoe-shaped ramp throat, and two blue arrow decals reading FLIPPER BUTTON. An instruction card is printed on the lower left of the playfield and a replay-score panel on the lower right.

A portrait-orientation photograph looking down the length of a pinball playfield through the playfield glass, the whole table framed by a pale wood cabinet side rail on the left, a chrome ball-guide rail running down the right side, and a broad polished stainless-steel lockdown bar filling the bottom quarter of the frame. The playfield artwork is a busy carnival-and-rock-and-roll tableau dominated by a large warm orange and amber central field, ringed by radiating red, white and blue star-and-stripe fan shapes at the top corners, with a cream, yellow, red and dark-brown border running around the perimeter. Across the upper third sit three large round pop-bumper caps mounted on chrome posts, each painted cream with a red star at the centre and a blue-and-red radiating sunburst skirt, arranged in a loose triangle. Below them a horizontal row of small round white insert lamps and coloured score windows, and a printed score ladder running up the left lane with white oval windows on a red panel. Curving printed lanes and rails sweep down both outer sides, with a wireform rail arcing over the right shoulder. The lower third shows the apron: a wide cream panel with a red-bordered card at left, a matching instruction block at right, and a large curved red, white and blue chevron ribbon sweeping in from both bottom corners. Several human and cartoon figures in white, red and blue clothing are scattered in the upper and mid artwork, crowded around the bumpers. The style is flat, saturated, hand-painted cartoon airbrush typical of mid-1970s electro-mechanical solid-state games, with hard black outlines and heavy gloss reflections from the glass.

Landscape-format backglass with a symmetrical four-quadrant layout around a huge central fire. At the centre a wide bronze brazier or chalice packed with towering yellow, orange and red flames throws light over everything, and above it sits the main title in two lines: WILD in smaller orange-to-yellow block letters over FIRE in very large fat yellow-to-orange gradient letters with a dark outline, a small diagonal word BY STERN tucked under the right of FIRE. Four dark rectangular score windows with dotted blue-and-yellow beaded frames sit in the four corners, each paired with a small square badge at its outer edge reading UP with a spade or star emblem, 2 UP, 3 UP and 4 UP. Left of the fire is a purple and violet rocky cliff; below it a winged yellow banner reads PLAYERS above four stacked coloured circles numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 in red, yellow, blue and orange. A woman in a plumed helmet and gold breastplate drives a team of four white horses in red-and-gold harnesses galloping right. The right side shows a burning classical building with a colonnade and statues on the roof, small figures below and a window reading 32 above a red MATCH panel. In the lower right two people in blue tumble head-first, and a huge muscular arm grips a rifle with a yellow muzzle burst beside red GAME OVER lettering. Background is dark red-brown scorched sky with lightning-crack veins.
