The flyer shows Chicago’s Soldier Field, a football field and one of the host sites for the 1994 World Cup soccer competition.

Designer John Popadiuk provided us the following information:The Dupont Chromalin prototype playfield laminate shown in this listing showed the original prototype artwork which was looking back to Bally Fireball from 1971 for colors. It was decided it was too “retro” looking and the new colors chosen. Only 1 sample Chromatin was produced. Most certainly the color green was removed completely from the game and soft shade of teal green was replaced. Grass green is a particularly challenging color to work into pinball.

The first mechanism in the game designed was originally another DMD display, in upright position, to be used as a digital goalie. The first WCS whitewood was designed as a wide body with a Supergame feature. Management came in and made the design team move to narrow body and take out some of the features.

The 1/2 sphere soccer ball never was intended to be a flat spinner [as was previously stated on the IPDB]. It might appear to look like it in the artwork but the idea of new toys in the game was high on the priority list.
