About this game

Kick It! is an action, arcade, sport, and strategy game released for Microsoft MSX in 1985.

Gameplay

Players control a pair of trousers across a board divided into blue tiles. Each tile disappears after it is crossed, so the goal is to collect every tile without becoming trapped. Green rolling objects must also be collected.

The board features three hazards: purple monsters, the roaming Man With The Hat, and randomly placed bombs. Bombs must be disarmed within thirty seconds by grabbing them. Clearing the board and avoiding hazards allows progression to the next level.

The game includes digitized speech at the start, after encountering a hazard, and at Game Over.
