With everyone here so horned up and loving the look of this, I had to look again and guess what?
A BIG FAT NO FIRKIN WAY! What am I missing? show me the way please.


Cabinet Artwork:
Kept simple, yet great use of colour.  The Pro is my favourite with the use of purple - big with 1970s EM.  LE works well to, as its colours tie in to the 1978 game.


Playfield Artwork:
Again kept simple.  You don't often see 'blank' areas on the play filed.  Have a look at the flipper area and scoop area.  There is lost of black - effectively blank space, again EM games never really filled in everything with art drawings.  Instead it was normal to have lots of blocks of single colour.

Look at the scoop.  Note that the artwork 'arrow' are used to almost demonstrate to shot for the scope.  Bordering on the artwork being used to tell you about the rules.   A lost 'art' in modern pinball, as the rules are far to complicated to be explained on the playfield.

Also note how Gene's fire breathing is used to highlight the KISS targets.

...It has been a long time since the artwork 'interacted' so well with the game.
