general description
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.

*NOTE: Dimensional Weight (also know as "Dim Weight") is an industry
standard formula used by shipping companies. The calculation is used
to determine how much space a package will take up. Most shipping rates
are calculated based on Dim Weight or actual weight, whichever is greater.
The formula for Dim Weight is (L" x W" x D")/194. The examples shown here
show the actual dimensional weight for the game, and then given an
estimated shipping dimensional weight assuming that 5" of packing
material is needed in each dimension. Your actual results may vary.
