A full-view photograph of a 1977 pinball playfield behind glass, with blue cabinet light streaking across the middle and reflections of a multi-coloured starburst lamp panel along the lower edge. The playfield is a wedge/trapezoid shape, narrow at the top, widening to a rectangular lower deck, printed in a bold flat-colour comic-book style dominated by royal blue, cream/tan, red and yellow. Across the upper third sits a wide gold arch: two comic-book male heads at the shoulders, one dark-haired in a red jacket at upper left and one in a peaked cap at upper right, flanking a yellow-orange starburst with a small planet at its centre. Below that are three round bumpers with starburst decals, a central white circular badge reading 1000, and four scroll captions: SPECIAL, SPECIAL LAST BALL, SPECIAL LIT AGAIN, and THE SPECIAL LAST BALL. The mid-playfield carries a blue diamond panel of bonus-value circles, flanked by two matching ADVANCE BONUS starbursts, and the EXTRA BALL triangle of ten round targets sits above a red plaque reading SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN. Two large white 500 POINTS and 5000 POINTS panels angle down each side towards two pale inlane-fed flippers. Two pale grey UNIVERSE instruction cards with printed bullet lists fill the lower corners, either side of a blank silver coin door, with a QR code and copyright line at lower right.

A painted, comic-style backglass panel with a white outer border and a blue sky background. Across the middle a muscular, bare-armed male hero in a skintight red bodysuit with white-striped briefs, yellow boots and white gloves, a red-and-white headband and dark hair, stands in a wide star-jump with arms flung out, mouth open in a shout, superimposed over a large arcing title reading UNIVERSE in white block letters with blue outline and a black drop shadow. Behind and around him: a wide rainbow-coloured swirl of red, white, blue, green and magenta bands, a spray of yellow five-pointed stars, a white-outlined yellow starburst explosion at lower left, tall orange-and-yellow flames along the lower left and centre, and blue-and-white cloud swirls at the lower right. On the right is a bullseye of concentric coloured rings around a black disc marked with a small white numbered grid. Four white score windows with black borders sit in two pairs, headed 1ST PLAYER (yellow), 2ND PLAYER (red), 3RD PLAYER (teal) and 4TH PLAYER (white) in star-burst banners. A magenta starburst at the bottom reads 1 TO 4 CAN PLAY above four coloured numbered cards 1 2 3 4 with up arrows.
