A giant erupting volcano filling the whole backglass, with a towering yellow-orange flame column bursting from a grey rock cone and lava-fall streaking down the slope. The title FIRE MOUNTAIN curves over the crater in purple letters with palm fronds sprouting through them. Four translucent orange plastic flippers numbered 1-2-3-4 are stuck to the glass over smoky white cloud decals, and red seven-segment LED score windows glow through the smoke. A maroon panel on the right carries HIGHEST SCORE and NAME cards with a BONUS VALUE slider and TILT flag.

Photographed in a dim arcade, slightly from the left, in a light wooden-framed backglass with plexiglass reflections. The airbrushed art is an erupting-volcano scene: a huge grey rock cone fills the centre, split by a tall column of yellow, orange and white flame shooting off the top edge. White smoke banks curl across the upper corners and down the right side. Tropical scenery surrounds the cone - dark green banana and palm leaves, ferns and a cactus on the left, dense lime-green foliage, red and orange flowers and a white waterfall on the lower right. Small painted human figures stand on the grey slopes left of the crater, and a red-orange pod or canoe shape sits at the bottom edge. Four translucent orange plastic flippers (1, 2, 3, 4) are mounted over the art - 1 and 2 in the top corners, 3 mid-left, 4 lower right - each backed by a white-and-grey smoke cloud. Red seven-segment LEDs read 000210 and 000000 at the top and 000006 near player 3. Right of centre is a dark maroon panel with a red 900000 window, white HIGHEST SCORE and NAME cards, a BONUS VALUE plate, CREDIT and a TILT window. The title arcs across the upper third in thick purple block letters with cream outlines and green palm fronds inside the letters.
