SOCCER YOUR MONEY AND REACH YOUR GOAL WITH A GAME THAT'S A HEADER ABOVE THE REST!

A high-tech game with realistic play features, challenging your way through the international tournaments by making the best use of the characteristics of each team and using the skills of team play as well as individual play.

This Taito-published soccer game, released in arcades in 1986 and for the Famicom Disk System in 1988. It was not released outside of Japan.

Kick and Run is a soccer game from Taito which was originally released in the Arcades and later ported to the Famicom Disk System a couple years later. It used a side perspective which would later be usurped by the more popular vertical view, and later again by the isometric perspective favored by the early FIFA games.

Kick and Run has something of a personality to set it apart from similar games: This includes cheerleaders during the half-time show (generally not featured in soccer matches, unlike football) and how goalkeepers will irritably kick the goalpost if the rival team scores.
