Blue-painted wireform ramps, dense upper playfield.
A seven-tile drop-target bank that literally spells the word WARNING in black block capitals, each tile numbered along its edge. Directly beneath it three status inserts read CONDITION GREEN, CONDITION YELLOW and CONDITION RED, like an alarm panel. A huge red-orange painted planet sphere in mid-playfield has a metal ball parked in its middle. A painted portrait of seven firefighters in blue uniform shirts crowds the lower centre, sitting oddly for a space scene. The top left is filled by an enormous painted astronaut in a white suit with a domed visor and ribbed neck ring.

A photographed glass-covered playfield of a fire-and-space-rescue themed electro-mechanical game, shot from above with the whole lower deck and part of the cabinet front in frame. The upper playfield is packed with wireform ramps and rails painted bright blue, and is dominated at top left by a large painted illustration of a bulky white-and-blue space suit with a domed visor, chest pack and ribbed collar. Down the right side a tall painted figure in a hard hat and orange-tinted goggles stands beside a large chrome-and-red ball. In the middle sits a big glowing red-orange planet sphere with a metal ball resting in its centre, ringed by flame artwork. Across the centre is a seven-panel drop-target bank spelled W A R N I N G in black capitals on red-and-gold tiles, with three rectangular inserts beneath reading CONDITION GREEN, CONDITION YELLOW and CONDITION RED. Lower centre is a painted group portrait of seven people in firefighter dress: three men in dark blue uniform shirts and badges in the front row, and four figures including two women in pale uniforms behind them. Two white flipper bats with red rubber point outward below, flanked by slingshots and outlanes. Instruction cards and lit displays fill the apron.

A wide, letterboxed sci-fi movie backglass. Across the whole top edge, widely letter-spaced yellow-gold serif capitals with a dark outline read LOST IN SPACE, with a tiny trademark symbol after the final E. The centre of the panel is dominated by a huge silver-grey chrome robot: a domed translucent disc for a head lit from within, a ribbed barrel torso of stacked metal rings, spindly piston arms with claw hands, and a ladder-like central spine running down to a wide base, all set on a glowing blue circular dais of concentric rings. Around it, cut-out photographic portraits float over a black starfield: at upper left a woman with long dark hair in a blue uniform standing beside a dark-armoured soldier and a smaller dark-haired woman; at lower left a large head of a short-haired man in a dark shirt with a bearded man below him pointing a finger to the right. At right, a boy's face peers down, beside a large bearded man lit in orange, a blonde woman in a dark uniform, and a pale worm-like creature with legs. A blue feathered or finned rocket nose with a flame plume rises from the lower right. A brass, goggle-eyed robot head emblem sits at the top left. A SEGA logo is printed bottom right.
