A full-length electro-mechanical playfield seen from above behind glass, with strong reflections. The artwork is bold Soviet avant-garde / constructivist: a huge red five-pointed star with a black outline sits at centre, ringed by a semicircle of yellow, orange and red five-pointed stars on black, with radiating yellow sunburst rays spreading upwards. At upper left a large roundel like a commemorative medallion bears the words SOVIET ROSE on a red banner across a hammer-and-sickle style disc, surrounded by pink, magenta and orange radiating bands. The left upper quadrant is packed with curved ball guides and rails over pink and orange art. The right upper quadrant carries a grey metal ramp and wireform ladder descending from the top edge, plus a small rocket illustration. Across the middle are labelled inserts in red ovals, a blue ramp and a silver ramp. The lower playfield has two black flipper bats with yellow rubber, a blue sling, and an apron showing a stylised woman in red boots and a red bodice, a large pink-red spiral disc, and a bold red script logo. Green and blue LED inserts glow all over.

A square backglass with a painted montage on a dark starry purple-and-black background, framed by a black cabinet and, below the art, a dot-matrix score panel with orange dot scoring, flanked by two round speaker grilles with diamond-mesh and star motifs. Upper left carries the main title: the word 'Totally' in huge slanted red-to-orange graffiti lettering with a white and black drop shadow, layered over yellow-and-green arrow and star shapes and the word 'Recall' in yellow. Behind the title sit neon theatre signs, a wooden Ferris wheel with a black oil derrick silhouetted against orange fire glow, a white clapboard house with a porch, and a bank of small television screens. Centre-left a huge chrome-yellow curved pipe or chute sweeps diagonally, ridden by four white-and-yellow suited figures with clear bubble helmets and twin yellow air tanks on their backs, arms raised, moving right to left; behind them a duplicate line of figures tinted blue and one pair tinted red. Lower left a neon-lit bar interior shows two standing women. Right side a large blonde woman with a bob and bangs, wearing a pale blue cropped top and blue shorts with a studded belt, leans in from the edge, one hand with a gold bracelet resting on her thigh. Upper right a big pale planet sits in a swirling blue vortex ringed with stars.
