Fingerprint: Techno: Two enormous red mushroom bumpers tilted outward at top, white-suited astronaut left holding panel, yellow-suited astronaut right with rifle, grey rocket-plane silhouette, green laurel wreath around center targets, gold trophy decals, multiplier fan, space theme

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the pair of enormous translucent red mushroom pop bumpers at the top of the field, each ringed by yellow posts and mounted at an angle so their domes face the player. Close behind them is a whole cast of cartoon astronauts and a retro rocket/plane, with a white-suited astronaut on the left and a yellow-suited one carrying a rifle on the right. Another strong memory cue is the green laurel wreath encircling the numbered round targets in the exact centre, with a five-arrow spray of yellow targets below it. Two gold trophy decals printed low on both side panels are unusual and easy to describe. Finally, the printed lower-third paperwork - two separate white cards, one headed as instructions for operators with a dense rules paragraph, the other a points-and-replay chart - is unusually large and framed by star borders.

Full description

A trapezoidal playfield packed with red, blue and yellow plastics, shot from above at a slight angle so the whole cabinet front and coin door are visible. Two huge translucent red mushroom pop bumpers sit at the top left and top right, tilted outward, with a third smaller pop in the middle decorated with green starburst discs. The centre of the field is a dark blue circular medallion ringed by a green laurel wreath, containing round orange-lit targets numbered 1 2 3 4 5 along the top and 3 7 6 below, then a row of X5, X10, X20, X40 multipliers with two red lit targets reading 27 and 30. Just under these sit two large round yellow-bordered targets labelled MATCH and BOWL. Two cartoon astronauts flank the medallion: a white-suited figure on the left holding a green panel, and a yellow-suited figure on the right in a helmet and goggles holding a rifle, standing under a grey aeroplane-like rocket shape. Yellow banners read LEFT WILLI and RIGHT WILLI, and slanted banners read LOCK. Triangular pink posts and yellow-railed ramps run up each side. At the bottom are white rubber flippers, black star-bordered lower side panels, gold trophy decals, and two white instruction/score cards flanking a red-and-yellow company logo. Colours: red, blue, yellow, white.

Full description

Full rectangular backglass of a motocross-themed game. A huge italic block logo reading 'Scramble' spans the entire top in a red-to-yellow vertical gradient with a heavy black outline, sitting on a yellow banner, with a row of red five-pointed stars above it. Below, a large painted rider dominates the centre: a man in a red helmet with a white band, dark goggles and a white mesh face bar, wearing a pale blue and white motocross jacket, blue-and-red trousers, blue boots and gloves, leaning forward over a red, white and blue dirt bike that rears up with its front wheel high, spraying white water spray. He holds a red handlebar grip in one hand; a large yellow number plate carrying a red '4' sits by the bars. Two smaller riders race behind him on the left: one in a yellow-and-blue jersey on a blue bike, the other in a red jersey and yellow helmet on a red-and-white bike. The background is teal-green with dark green conifer trees and a brown dirt track. A yellow and black chequered ribbon of flags curls in a big oval around the scene, studded with red stars. Four red LED score displays sit in the corners, marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 inside red-and-gold laurel wreaths; small yellow and blue instruction panels and a row of three gold trophy cups line the lower edge.

Illuminated backglass with a bright sky-blue outer field and a huge italicised yellow-and-orange title across the top, lettered in a squared-off angular racing style with a red outline and white interior highlight, sitting above a jagged arc of yellow five-pointed stars. A large central figure of a motocross rider dominates: a man in a red helmet with a blue-and-white visor stripe and dark goggles, white jacket, red gloves and blue boots, leaning forward over a red, white and black dirt bike whose fat front knobbly tyre and spoked wheel are thrown toward the viewer. Green grass swirls and white dust rooster-tails burst outwards behind the bike. On the left, two smaller riders on yellow and red dirt bikes lean into the same turn. A red square with a big yellow 4 sits at centre behind the rider shoulder. Four red seven-segment score windows sit in a row, labelled by green-and-white circled numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4; the third reads CREDITS. A second red alphanumeric display at centre-right, framed in grey, reads 0758000.
