Top-down view of a complete electro-mechanical playfield, seen through worn glass in a wooden cabinet with a silver ball-guide apron. The art is a flat, brightly coloured cartoon of a space race: a deep blue starfield full of white and pink starbursts and green-ringed planets runs up the left and right edges, while a huge yellow-and-orange rocket-launch complex fills the top third under concentric orange and yellow wireform rails. A grey rocket with orange exhaust sits below a white cloud reading ADVANCE BONUS / WHEN LIT / SPECIAL. Three round pop-bumper caps read 1000, 1000 and 1090, each with ONLY WHEN LIT beneath. Down the centre is a blue-and-white ribbon of scoring values from 109,000 down through 60,000, 50,000, 40,000, 30,000, 20,000 to 10,000, with five yellow discs spelling O R B I T across it. Two pink-and-red twin-finned jet fighters with yellow sunburst exhausts flank the mid-lower field, and pink and white cloud banks erupt between two yellow paddles at the bottom. Four red hexagonal drop targets stand at upper right beside vertical TARGET ADVANCE MAGNETIZE text. Two cream card legends, MOON FLIGHT and INSTRUCTIONS, are printed on the lower apron either side of a QR code.

Fingerprint: Shirtless blond man in shiny green bodysuit with red lightning-bolt singing into microphone while floating, astronaut in white ribbed suit with rainbow stripes and gold helmet on tether, Moon Flight title in rounded lowercase orange with red-yellow striping on jagged purple asteroid panel, 8-digit score readout 0,417,600, yellow spiked sunburst, Earth and cratered moon
A shirtless blond man in a shiny green bodysuit with a red lightning-bolt chest emblem singing into a microphone while floating weightlessly. Next to him a second astronaut in a white ribbed suit with rainbow stripes and a gold bubble helmet drifts on a tether. The title Moon Flight is rendered as fat rounded lowercase outline letters in orange with red-and-yellow inline striping, sitting on a jagged purple asteroid-shaped panel. An 8-digit mechanical score window reading 0,417,600 runs across the top inside a yellow spiked sunburst, next to a small blue 300 badge. A tiny Earth hangs in the starfield at mid-left and a yellow cratered moon surface fills the lower centre.

Translucent backglass artwork of a retro-futuristic space station interior, framed by a scuffed cream wooden cabinet surround with a metal edge strip. Across the top sits a yellow spiked sunburst panel carrying a blue-bordered white mechanical score window with eight illuminated digits reading 0,417,600, plus a small blue circular badge at left marked 300 in red. Below, black starfield background with white and coloured star dots. Right side: the title Moon Flight in rounded lowercase outline script, orange letters with yellow and red inline striping, on a jagged-edged purple asteroid-shaped panel. Left: a bare-chested muscular blond young man with curly hair in a tight shiny green bodysuit with blue collar and cuffs, a red-outlined lightning bolt on the chest, red trousers with a yellow side stripe, blue belt, and a white-and-blue striped round patch on his upper arm; he grips a microphone in one hand and braces his raised hand on a purple window strut, head bowed. Lower right: a second spaceman floating in a white ribbed pressure suit striped red, green and yellow with blue gloves, a gold-tinted bubble helmet and yellow trim, tethered by a red hose. Left margin holds a blue-painted machinery rack with multicoloured push buttons, dials, a round grey speaker grille, a bank of yellow rectangles and a striped yellow-green armchair. Earth floats at mid-left; below, a yellow cratered moon surface behind purple window framing and a curved console labelled GAME OVER.
