One of the play-field plastics shows artist Kevin O’Connor’s Jeep Cherokee drawn in chrome. Some of the reflections in the silver balls on the sides are of O’Connor himself, who wore a beard for many years.
The game came to O’Connor as a blank white-wood and he designed the art from an idea he got from a comic by a comic who drew everything in chrome, tieing in well with the pinball.
