The whole playfield is a football pitch rendered in magenta, purple and blue with pale-green pitch markings, and four painted players in different kit colours contest the ball in the centre. Two enormous chrome ball guides sweep down from the top corners to form a big V over the upper playfield, with three blue-capped pop bumpers and yellow rubbers nested inside that V. Two red five-pointed stars with white outlines flank the lower flippers, and two round scoring discs below the bumpers are labelled 10.000 and 100.00 respectively. The top-centre mechanical counter is labelled TIEMPO and sits above a red 00.00 window, with two blue globe/eye-like lenses beneath it.

A full-view photograph of an electromechanical football (soccer) pinball playfield, shot looking down at a slight angle so the chrome lockdown bar and the metal apron with its two paper instruction cards are visible along the bottom. The playfield background is a stylised football pitch: magenta, purple and blue washes with thin pale-green pitch lines and a large green centre circle, bordered by cream and yellow rail edges. Two huge chrome ball guides sweep down from the upper left and upper right like a wide V, flanking the upper-middle area. Three round pop bumpers with blue printed caps and yellow rubber skirts sit in an arc across the upper third, above a central red-and-black striped target area. Four painted footballer figures in different-coloured kits dominate the middle of the playfield, arranged in two pairs and appearing to kick or head a ball, with yellow drop-target banks and round scoring discs marked with numerals arranged around them. Two red five-pointed stars with white outlines sit at the lower left and lower right corners beside the flippers. A rectangular mechanical score window at top centre reads TIEMPO above a red 00.00 counter.

Three reptile-headed players in yellow basketball jerseys guarding human women on an indoor court, with the whole word 'BASKETBALL' arched across the top in red-and-white block letters. A leaping woman in a white singlet holds the ball aloft at the exact centre of the glass. The background wall is decorated with oversized playing-card suit shields and floating hot-air balloons and streamers rather than a normal sports hall. Credit windows in Spanish sit in a strip along the very bottom above a maker's logo apron.

Tall backglass trans-light with a huge arched word across the whole top reading 'BASKETBALL' in chunky slab capitals, letters split red on the lower half and white/pale blue on the upper half with a thick dark blue outline. The scene shows a women's basketball game on an indoor court: at centre a tall woman in a white cropped singlet and shorts, black hair in a ponytail, leaping with one arm raised holding an orange ball and the other arm outstretched. Two more women in white are partly hidden at the right, one with long black hair crouching. Three odd figures with scaly green-gold reptile skin and yellow sleeveless jerseys with a green diamond-and-arrow emblem stand as defenders at left and right, one with a duck-billed reptile head. The background is a deep blue star-speckled wall hung with playing-card-suit shields (spade, heart, diamond, club), stripes of pink, green and blue ribbon, hot-air balloons and confetti, with a packed crowd of small heads along a red running track at the bottom. Two rows of red alphanumeric score windows sit low, with player numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 down the sides and the maker's apron below.
