Full description

A rectangular backglass dominated by a swirling orange, yellow and red fireball background, with a wedge of dark blue sky at the lower left. Top left carries a large two-line title logo reading STAR over FIRE in fat italic block capitals, red and yellow faces with white and black outlines. Four dark maroon rectangular score windows with white borders sit across the top, labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4 in white numerals. The centre is dominated by a colossal pale blue-grey space-station gantry in sharp geometric perspective, sweeping down from upper left to lower right, with black panels dotted with rows of small white lights. Clinging to it are two green-yellow and red striped rocket craft. At lower right stands a tall tiered teal and white pagoda-like tower of stacked platforms, spires and antennae. Two yellow starburst explosions with green rock fragments burst upwards from the bottom edge. At bottom left are three small cream instruction cards with red lettering reading CREDIT, EXTRA BALL and MATCH FEATURE, above a small red panel with tiny lettering reading WITH 2X FEATURE. No human figures appear; the art style is painted airbrushed science fiction in saturated primary colours.
