Fingerprint: COMBAT: Two fighter pilots in lavender-blue uniforms as flat comic-book airbrush, one saluting facing forward, one mid-jump on red ladder pipe, burning warship strafed by grey jet with red and yellow flames, submarine conning tower and grey superstructure, four score windows printed into artwork, pale sky-blue background.
Two fighter pilots in lavender-blue uniforms rendered as flat comic-book airbrush art, one saluting and one mid-jump while clinging to a red ladder pipe. The title COMBAT is yellow block lettering with a red outline, arched along a diagonal grey smoke trail rather than set straight. A burning warship being strafed by a grey jet fills the left side, with a red-and-yellow striped flag above it. A painted submarine conning tower and grey ship superstructure with red pipes fill the foreground. Four six-digit score windows are printed into the art itself.

A painted backglass in a flat comic-book airbrush style, dominated by a pale sky-blue background with orange fire and grey smoke. Four cream rectangular score windows, each holding six black mechanical digits, sit in two pairs, one pair across the top and one pair across the lower third, separated by red '1 UP' and '2 UP' panels above and red '3 UP' and yellow '4 UP' panels below. Arched above centre, the title COMBAT runs left to right in chunky yellow block capitals with a heavy red outline, doubled back along a brown-grey smoke trail. Below it stand two male fighter pilots in lavender-blue uniforms with peaked caps, gold sleeve stripes and white shirts: the larger left-hand man faces forward with his right hand raised in salute and mouth open, the slimmer right-hand man is drawn mid-leap with one arm stretched up gripping a red vertical pipe or ladder beside a grey ship structure, knees bent, holding a small red-and-white striped pennant. Left of centre a grey military jet flies low over a burning warship amid red and yellow flames and black smoke, with a red-and-yellow striped flag on a pole at upper left. The foreground shows a submarine conning tower with railing and ladder, a grey superstructure with pipes at right, and a yellow-orange sunburst at bottom left. A riveted metal strip along the bottom carries a lit arrow panel reading BONUS BOX, '1 TO 4 CAN PLAY' in white on blue, and a lit red GAME OVER window at lower right. Glass reflections are visible across the artwork.
