A rectangular 1970s electro-mechanical backglass photographed inside a light timber frame against blue horizontal siding, with clear reflections on the glass. Dark navy-blue background sky over jagged blue-grey mountains and a row of red-orange mountains along the bottom edge. Two large mechanical score reels sit symmetrically at top left and top right, each framed in a red-and-yellow cartouche with a yellow crown-shaped burst above carrying a red numeral 1 (left) and 2 (right); each reel shows ,100 in black digits on white cards. Between them, high centre, a yellow 'PLAYERS' placard above two stacked red-and-white square windows numbered 1 and 2, beside a white-on-red script logo reading 'D. Gottlieb & Co.' Centre stage is a grinning cartoon caveman, bare-chested with a blonde beaded headband, holding a stone axe raised in his right hand, wearing a shaggy yellow animal-skin tunic and loincloth with a red belt and a dark studded wristband on his left arm. To the right stands a slender woman in a blue two-piece bathing costume with white trim, one arm raised. Bottom left reads 'Gottlieb's 2 PLAYER ATLAS' in yellow, white and orange lettering on a red shape. Three text boxes line the bottom: 'It's More Fun to Compete / A GAME OF SKILL', '1 or 2 CAN PLAY / AT THE SAME TIME', and 'BALL in PLAY' with an arrow.
