Reactor

This artwork was inspired by super collider experiments, and in particular, the unique particle signatures that are recorded from a collision, four of which adorn the corners of the outer bezel area. The image in the middle is an actual representation of the positions of probes and injectors around a spherical reactor chamber. The wiring and scaffolding is from images of the facility at CERN. There is a lot going on in this game, so I found a way to embed some gameplay info into the backdrop image, such as the areas right next to the control rods and the walls around the bonus chambers. The control rod text font is derived from the original coin op graphics in that same location.
