# Kick Off / Quarterback

*Kick Off* (1977) and *Quarterback* (1976) are two pinball machines produced by Bally Manufacturing, both designed by Jim Patla with artwork by Paul Faris. *Kick Off* is a soccer-themed, four-player electro-mechanical (EM) machine, featuring four flippers, three pop bumpers, and a bank of seven drop targets. It was Bally's last EM game, making it notable among collectors. Its counterpart, *Quarterback*, is the two-player version with an American football theme and shares a similar playfield layout.
