[QUOTE="sotnwaffle, post: 68707, member: 344"] Have you ever been confused by elements in pinball art that looks like it's presenting an event or telling a story, but you're not sure what's going on? I can accept that sometimes, art in pinball is sometimes meant to provoke general moods and just attract players, but for some machines, the art tells enough of a story for me to become confused. Gorgar: To me, it looks like you're fighting a monster and defending a woman. But on the backglass, it appears someone is setting a woman down to be sacrificed (I'd imagine Gorgar would not look so happy and relaxed if the man were taking her away), but on the playing field, the man is attacking Gorgar? Did he change his mind? Is that a different man? And what's that Gorgar-like red hand doing that's on the ground? A second Gorgar-thing got killed? Is the man in the backglass running toward the foreground trying to stop the sacrifice? But a similar man is appearing in the playfield art. Centaur: I guess your mission is to destroy 'centaur' as the voice says. What are those orbs? Viper: This looks like it was meant to be symbolic of human sexuality, but if I try to take the setting literally, I have absolutely no idea what's going on. [/QUOTE]
