Bally Midway track ball used in its Kick / Kick Man arcade games. Unit is complete, a little dirty and definitely could use a good cleaning of the bearings as it doesn't spin very well as it sits, but should be fine given some work. It is untested and sold as-is.

Overview
Kick Man, an early Bally Midway game (released in 1981) is one of a handful circus-themed games released in its time. The game play is rather unique: you control a clown on unicycle who must balance ballons on its head that fall from the sky. A track-ball is used to move left and right and the clown also can kick ballons back up in sky that were not caught.

Kick Man is one of a couple Bally Midway games to cross over characters from another game. Pac-Man, the most recognized game character of the time makes frequent appearances during the game. Kick Man was originally released under the name “Kick”, without the Pac-Man character. Apparently Bally Midway added Pac-Man in attempt to boost low sales of the game.
