A card box printed in colours to show the titles, maker's details and illustration of the characters, with a plain card base. The lining is raised with a cup at one end to house the playing pieces.

The numbers and the colours on the spinner represent the four plastic playing pieces - 1 on red, 2 on yellow, 3 on blue, 4 on green.

| Historical context | There are no rules and it is probable that part of the game is missing - maybe the playing surface itself. In the 1970s, TV series sparked many games based upon the 'heroic deeds' of the main character. |
