Even from a distance Spirit has presence of being that attracts the eye. | The backglass artwork is nicely brought to life by a spinning disk that creates an effect of radiating light around the sphere. This disk forced the designer to set the bonus display into the playfield. | No bonus display on the whitewood playfield. The multiplier and SPIRIT lamps were relocated for that. There was a kicking target originally to the left of the pop-bumper. John Trudeau told SNP that "It didn't play well and was removed for economy's sake too". | There's a hint of Matisse's Icarus in the Spirit artwork. |

A player's view of Spirit's unusual playfield layout. The upper playfield is in the top right corner. | The colours are vibrant and striking against the black. Note the bonus display set into the centre of the playfield and the mini-flipper in the corner of each outlane. | Steve Charland, well-known System 80 fanatic, with his own Spirit and 3 more that were gathered together for the 2003 Pin-A-Go-Go in California. Quite a rare sight! |

The upper half of the playfield is a maze of channels, lanes and roundabouts, with captive holes, the lone central pop-bumper and the bank of 3 drop-targets being the main features between. | The upper playfield is small with just 1 flipper, 3 drop-targets, a spot target and a rollunder. Note the Stargate ramp in the raised position, allowing a ball under to a hole - 1 way to multiball mode. | The upper playfield is connected to the main playfield by 2 ramps. The player doesn't have any upkickers to overcome gravity and it takes a great shot to make it up the steeper Stargat ramp to the rear. |
