Name of the 80s soccer arcade machine?
July 2, 2009 12:59 AM
Does anyone remember the name of the 80s soccer coin-op arcade machine? It was of a similar size to a Gauntlet box, was up to four player and was a world cup type tournament. Sort of cartoon-y / manga-lite type of players; and my overriding memory of it is the scissor / bicycle kick. If it then exists in a PC/PS2/ROM collection so much the better! Thanks all.
Here's a list of all video games in klov that match soccer. Mexico 86 is up to 4 player and more or less fits your description.

It's not from 1980s but instead 1992, but possibly Super Sidekicks?

I was gonna drop in and mention Mexico 86 too. God knows I wasted a lot of money as a kid on that thing and your description fits perfectly. Here are a couple of more images to jog your memory.

Mexico 86 it is! Well, more specifically Kick & Run. Thank you! >memories of interesting ten pence pieces ad nauseum come flooding back<>
And [obviously] MAME-able. Well, in my little corrupt world it is anyway...

This thread is closed to new comments.
Anyway, browsing the CoinOp database might help you find the right game.
