"We've developed a fun and challenging follow-up piece in
Kick-Man," said Stan Jarocki. Vice-President of marketing for
Midway Mfg. Co. "It's a great side-kick to Pac-Man. Players
will get a kick out of "Kick-Man", high stepping video
r ecreation with colourful and special effects that are sure to
attract new and steady play-action".
Th e game involves Kick-Man. a clown/acrobat who pedals a
unicycle back and forth across the screen in an attempt to
burst or catch balloons and others object for score. The player
con trols the movements of Kick-Man with a rollfag ball. which
he spins in either direction to position Kick-Man under the
randomly falling balloons and other objects. Should Kick-Man
miss, the player can hit the Kick button. which activates the
clown ·s feet to kick the object back up for another chance.
After pressing the 1 or 2 player start button for game
cr edi ts, the first screen display tells the player that he can get
directions on the object of Kick-Man and how the game works
by pressing the 'Kick· button.
The game proceeds through many phases as Kick-Mun
f everishl y pedals back and forth trying to collect a stock o(
eight falling balloons. At times the famous Pac-Man appears to
help the player increase his score. When Pac-Mon descends
and he is caught by the Kick-Man. he gobbles up ull the
balloons on the clown ·s head for immediate score. The first
Pac-Man caught is a 200 point bonus. The second is worth -WO
points; the third 800 points. and the fourth 1600 points. There
are different colour balloons that fall in varying speeds. Plus
there ure occasional fast-falling Pac-Man monster creatures
appearing in the balloon formation that are also worth extra
points.

LEISURE PLAY POLICY ON VIDEO GAME COPYING
Following discussions with several
companies in both the UK and overseas Leisure
Play will in future require a written
undertaking that any video game featured in an
advertisement is manufactured under licence
from the originators. The name of the
originating company must be specified. This
will also apply to video game systems. A
number of companies have complained that
having spent considerable amounts of money
-
on research and development, or on
distribution rights for games, they have been
hit by other firms producing cheap copies of
the same games. After a lot of deliberation the
directors of Leisure Play have decided that the
adoption of this policy will contribute towards
a more stable and fair video game industry.
Existing contracts will,
honoured in full.
of course, be
