An electro-mechanical playfield on a pale cream-to-butter-yellow background, dominated by a prehistoric theme. At the top is a fan-shaped upper playfield: a curved row of upright coloured rollover lanes in red, white and orange, flanked by a black ball-feed trough on the left and a chrome wire guide on the right. Below sit four mushroom bumpers - two cream/ivory pop bumpers with domed caps left and right of centre, a bright yellow mushroom bumper at top centre, a second yellow bumper mid-field, and a magenta-pink bumper right of centre with a cream cap. Rectangular orange-faced targets form banks on both left and right shoulders. Printed artwork shows a dark-haired caveman crouching in a hunting pose over a rocky ledge, surrounded by brown prehistoric beasts and fern-like fronds, with a curved band of green grass and a red-and-yellow striped pole running behind him. The two lower flippers are white bats labelled FLIPPER, flanked by two red-tipped slingshots. A cream instruction card with a red heading fills the lower left; a printed comic man with a raised arm appears at lower right. Everything is bathed in warm amber lamp light.

A painted backglass with a wide ochre border, dominated by a bulbous, lumpy orange-tan title across the whole top reading hairy-SINGERS, the letters shaded like carved wood or stone with a small white 1 set into the final S. Below the title, at the top right, four ragged parchment-coloured score windows hang from a dark line and read 1 0 0 0; a small square window to their left shows 26.

Flat, heavily outlined cartoon backglass. Across the top, a two-word title in hand-drawn yellow block letters with black keyline and lavender drop shadow: the smaller word 'hairy' in loose lowercase script, then 'SINGERS' in bigger chunky capitals. The sky is flat mid-blue with pale lavender rock spires and a green-and-yellow valley floor. Right of centre, six tattered white cloth banners hang from a pole, each a black-bordered score window; digits read 1, 2, 4, 0. The scene is a crowd of shaggy-haired cavemen on rocky ground: at left a lean barefoot woman in a leopard-spot wrap skirt holds a pale object to her mouth; beside her a fur-clad man kneels with a bone; a third man stands centre swinging a stone axe overhead in a ragged white loincloth, teeth bared. Far right, figures in a rock pit raise clenched fists. Along the cropped bottom edge: a raised hand, the back of a dark-haired head, a blond man with a hand to his face, and a head shoved under a stone slab.
