Full description

A blurry, low-resolution photograph of a wooden-cabineted, pre-flipper-era-looking playfield partly covered by wrinkled clear cling film, with a black block at bottom right and black bar down the left edge. The bottom of the playfield board is natural honey-coloured wood with a large painted central panel in blue, red and yellow. The top is mostly blue with a rounded arch; the middle and bottom are red with yellow crescent and arrow shapes. Round white-capped bumpers marked BONUS sit in pairs at top and in the middle, with three round bumpers with dark centres near the bottom. Several bullseye roll-over targets ring in yellow and red carry 100,000 and SPOTS NUMBER lettering. Two flippers sit at the bottom with long white rubber-lined slings. Small painted scenery near the top shows a striped pole and a sailing boat on a blue sea. A rules card is on the bottom left.

Full description

Photograph of a square glass in a pale wood frame, wrapped in clear plastic film that causes streaks and glare and blurs detail. At the top a black rounded banner holds multicolour numerals 1 to 8 over yellow script MILLION. The title MOON GLOW is in cream outlined 3D letters over a blue sky with white clouds and a small white moon. Two tall stacked towers of discs, topped by yellow cap-like rings marked THOUSAND, flank the scene: left reads 900 down to 100, right reads 90 down to 10. In the centre a red boat or gondola glides over a lake with a small figure in red and yellow at its bow, others in the background, and a fringe of green foliage. A red triangular band reads Bonus 10 Points with downward arrows over a row of circled numbers 1 to 10 along the bottom.
