Fingerprint: atthila the hun: huge bare-chested black-haired warrior with white fur headdress thrusting long red-shafted spear upward, white horse head rearing in from lower left with flying white mane and gold harness, smaller rearing horse with turbaned rider at right, yellow-gold medieval lettering with three stacked lines, teal sky over orange-purple mountains
A giant bare-chested, black-haired warrior in a white fur headdress dominates the centre, both arms thrust upward holding a long red-shafted spear whose broad leaf-shaped blade points to the top-left corner. Second most memorable is the stark white horse head rearing in from the lower left, flying white mane and a bright gold harness, its eye wide and startled. Third, the title ATTHILA / THE / HUN in three stacked lines of yellow spiky medieval capitals with a heavy underline flourish. Also notable: the two small red LED displays at bottom centre reading 88 and 42, and a tiny turbaned rider on a rearing horse at the right.

A full-colour printed backglass panel with a teal and blue sky over jagged orange-and-purple mountain peaks, a red-brown rocky foreground and a strip of turquoise sea at the right edge. Across the upper left stands the title in three stacked lines of yellow-gold medieval display lettering with black and white outlines: ATTHILA, a small THE, then HUN, all in spiky serif capitals with a wide underline flourish. Above the title at top left is a bronze-rimmed round medallion containing the numeral 1, beside white lettering reading GamePlan, Inc. Four bronze-framed red display panels sit across the panel: a top-left panel showing red digits, a dark top-right panel under a round medallion numbered 2, and two lower panels left and right. Centre stage is a huge bare-chested man with long black hair and a white fur-trimmed headdress and cloak, mouth open shouting, a round gold medallion on his chest, raising a long red-shafted spear with a broad leaf-shaped blade above his head with both arms. At the lower left a white horse's head rears in, white mane flying, wearing a gold harness with a dark browband. At the right a smaller horse rears on its hind legs with a turbaned rider in blue and gold. Between them sit two red LED number displays reading 88 and 42.
