Fingerprint: Beaming blonde mother and grinning father stacked centre with tiny boy below, red border packed with black silhouette vignettes of family life, two white-blue pinwheel discs marked 100, Family Fun logo, four mechanical score reels numbered 1-4, GamePlan wordmark, bright cartoon style

Distinctive

The playfield art is ringed by a wide red border packed with black silhouette vignettes of everyday family life - a skipping boy, a crawling baby, a woman on a swing, a prancing horse, a bicycle - far more distinctive than the logo itself. Two oversized cartoon parent heads (a beaming blonde mother and a grinning father in a tie) stacked in the centre with a tiny boy in blue dungarees cheering below. Two white-and-blue pinwheel discs printed '100' that read like spinning dials near the top. A black lower apron with four banks of red mechanical score reels numbered 1 to 4 and a chunky white CREDIT button. A dense white instruction card in the lower right corner listing the replay and multiplier awards.

Full description

A tall, brightly coloured cartoon backglass in a wood-grain cabinet with a black bezel and metal trim. A large red script logo reading 'Family Fun!' curves across the centre over a sky-blue field, with the smaller yellow-and-red 'GamePlan' wordmark tucked beneath. Two big cartoon heads dominate the middle: a smiling blonde woman with wide eyes and open mouth, and below her a brown-haired man in a white shirt and red tie grinning; beside them stands a small cartoon boy in blue dungarees with both arms thrown up in celebration. The blue field is scattered with yellow wedge-shaped value banners (1000 to 10,000) and round yellow-and-blue targets. Two white-and-blue striped discs marked '100' sit like spinning dials near the top, flanked by rows of vertical scoring lanes topped with red-and-yellow arches marked EXTRA and SPECIAL. The whole illustration is ringed by a broad red band filled with black silhouette figures: a skipping child, a crawling baby, a swinging woman, a prancing horse, a bicycle rider and a standing couple. At the bottom a yellow 'SHOOT AGAIN' oval and a white lozenge reading 'COLLECT BONUS' sit above a black apron carrying four banks of red mechanical score reels numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and a chunky white CREDIT button on the right. A white instruction panel with red headings fills the lower right.

Full description

Tall rectangular backglass on a black background, dominated by a deep navy-blue starfield panel edged in red and gold. Across the upper middle, arched block capitals spell STAR TRIP in chunky yellow-gold letters with a red drop shadow and dark outline, the middle letters slightly larger. Above the title a band of machinery is drawn: a red gantry of vertical struts and pipes, two white circular dials with radiating spike starbursts, a red-and-white winged rocket motif, and at top left a white-helmeted figure with a dark visor. A tall gold rocket or launch tower rises in the centre, flanked by two large flat yellow wedge shapes like fins or wings, and small four-pointed white stars and rocket-with-flame emblems scattered on the blue. Lower third is black, carrying a cluster of red rectangular score windows arranged in a loose cross, with small white number panels and a gold-framed panel at the bottom. Colours are red, gold, navy blue, black and white.
