description:  A wooden cabinet houses a combination game and gumball vendor.  A green background divided the spaces where the player would try to hit the ball.  A spaceship is painted on the glass, as well as stars and a moon.

information:  The challenge of this game was just half of the fun, the player also got a piece of gum (regardless of a win).  The player would fire the ball of gum up the launch pad, similar to a pinball machine, trying to get it in the moon slot, which was the most challenging.  Four other options were also available: Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Lost in Space.
