History Pinball / Heist

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Each member of the crew has a color assigned to indicate their roles and relevant targets to shoot during gameplay. Maggie Machado is blue, Katherine Burgess is green, Willie Burnett is yellow, Franklin Cooper is purple, Leonid Myshkin is orange, and Liz Sterling is red,

* DirtyCop: The police of Ocean City have been paid off by Mr. Big and are effectively tools he uses to enforce his control of the town.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Although all of the characters have full names (which are shown at the start of the game), in-game messages always refer to them by their role (''e.g.,'' "Hacker has been arrested!").

''Heist!'' is a PhysicalPinballTable module for the P[[superscript:3]] pinball platform, designed by Stephen Silver with art by Jose Fernandez. This was the third fully-featured {{Pinball}} game from Creator/{{Multimorphic}} after ''Pinball/LexyLightspeed'' and ''Cosmic Cart Racing''.

Ocean City was once a tranquil seaside town until it caught the eye of the ruthless business mogul Frank Bigalow. With swift efficiency, "Mr. Big" has taken over the city's various institutions, corrupting the police into becoming his personal enforcers on the hapless citizenry. Opposing him is criminal mastermind Maggie Machado, who's decided to take down this fat fish and help herself to his ill-gotten fortunes. Help Maggie assemble her crew, ditch the cops, bash the swinging crane, and teach Mr. Big a long-overdue lesson.

!!''Heist!'' features the following tropes:

* AlphabetNewsNetwork: A billboard can be seen advertising "BNN" (Big News Network)
* AntiHeroTeam: Maggie's crew are all thieves, con-artists, and other less-than-reputable types.
* BadassDriver: Willie Burnett, the driver of the crew. Recruiting him requires making some skillful shots to evade the cops chasing him.
* BigBad: Frank "Mr. Big" Bigelow, the crooked kingpin of the city.
* TheCaper: Subverted; despite the premise of the game, a caper can be started as soon as any two characters are recruited. Furthermore, the capers don't require specific characters to execute -- a jewel robbery, for instance, could be performed by TheDriver and the DemolitionsExpert in one game, while a second game uses the ClassyCatBurglar and the PlayfulHacker instead.
* CaperCrew: The protagonists are identified by their roles in the introduction:
** Maggie Machado / The Mastermind
** Katherine "Kat" Burgess / ClassyCatBurglar
** Willie Burnett / TheDriver
** Franklin Cooper / The Safe-Cracker
** Leonid "Leo" Myshkin / DemolitionsExpert
** Liz Sterling / The PlayfulHacker
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Each member of the crew has a color assigned to indicate roles and relevant targets.
** Maggie Machado - blue
** Katherine Burgess - green
** Willie Burnett - yellow
** Franklin Cooper - purple
** Leonid Myshkin - orange
** Liz Sterling - red
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Bigelow, of course. One of the first things he does after taking over the city is to rename everything after himself.

* DirtyCop: The police of Ocean City have been corrupted into being Mr. Big's enforcers.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Played with. Although all of the characters have full names, in-game messages always refer to them by their role (''e.g.,'' "Hacker has been arrested!").
* ExactProgressBar: Liz's laptop displays a gigantic progress bar to show the time needed to download Mr. Big's computer files.

* GrapplingHookPistol: Kat Burgess uses one to get into and out of her heists.
* GreatEscape: Bashing the jail cell starts a jail break to rescue any crew members captured by the police.
* {{Hackette}}: Liz Sterling is a computer expert with long red hair, freckles, and big round glasses.
* HackingMinigame: This is how the player recruits Liz into the gang.

* LaserHallway: Kat's recruitment involves her stealing gear from an office protected by a laser security net.
* LosingHorns: Played when the ball is drained down the outlanes.
* MadBomber: Downplayed with "Leo" Myshkin; he's a professional demolitions expert, but he does enjoy his work a little too much...
* MoneyToThrowAway: Making a particularly skillful shot will cause money to rain down the main playfield. Collecting enough bills enables Crane Multiball.
* MovingTargetBonus: The crane moves around the playfield and awards points when hit.

* PasswordSlotMachine: Liz uses one of these to break the password to Mr. Big's computer account.
* {{Safecracking}}: Played straight with Franklin Cooper, who cracks safes with nimble fingers and a stethoscope.
* {{Sidequest}}: In addition to advancing the main storyline, the characters can start "Side Jobs" for extra points.
* SigilSpam: Ocean City is festooned with signs and storefronts named after Mr. Big (Big Bank, Big Savings & Loan, Big*Mart, Bigio-Cola, BNN...)

* VillainNoLongerIdle: At the start of Crane Multiball, Mr. Big throws the operator out of the cab so he can personally steer the crane against the player.

* NightVisionGoggles: Kat wears these as part of her ensemble.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Played with. Although all of the characters have full names, in-game messages always refer to them by their nicknames (''e.g.,'' "Hacker has been arrested!").
