The cabinet is about four inches narrower than a stardard Atari cabinet and slightly longer. The marquee is combined with the monitor glass into one piece and player tips are included in the art. Mounted inside the cabinet is a 3-D playfield with bumpers, L.E.D.'s and fully decorated with a city nightline, neon stars and disco dancers! The control panel extends outward, decorated with a 40's-esque hand indicating where to press the start button. The flipper controls are on the left and right sides of the control panel and the panel itself has a spring that allows the player to push down on it for a nudge effect. A plunger is located at the front of the panel. The side art consists of a metal ball bursting across the cabinet along with lined borders, similar to artwork on other 70's Atari cabinets.
