TrekMD 912 Member · Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Kick-man was developed for the Atari 2600 back in 1983 and was to be published by CBS Electronics; however, the game was cancelled and never seen again. That is until Dutchman2000 and Thomas Jentzsch found the game and released it on Atari Age. Kick-man was released in the arcades by Midway and the gameplay consists of the player controlling a clown on a unicycle moving left and right catching falling balloons on his head. If a balloon is missed, the clown can kick it up to try to catch it. This gameplay is nicely captured in the 2600 version.

TrekMD 912 Member · Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 It sure is! By the way, does anyone know how to get the videos to show as a video instead of a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey 1,674 Member · Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This is how you make a proper post, thanks for this. 1. The title is very descriptive, I know exactly what I will be reading if I click the title. 2. There's a brief writeup as well as a screenshot, instead of just a link and nothing else. 3. The source is included if I wish to read more. I do have a question though, I'm curious if they simply found the digital file for the game or was a cartridge found? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only the ROM was found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
