Soccer

Soccer, manufactured by G. M. Laboratories in February 1936, is a flipperless, battery-operated pinball machine themed around football/soccer. The game offers 10-ball play and features 10 kickers -- mannikins that kick the ball with their legs. Players shoot balls to land them in front of a kicker, which then kicks the ball toward the "Upper Goal."

As a flipperless game, Soccer relies entirely on shot placement and the mechanical kicker figures rather than player-controlled flippers, which had not yet been invented. The soccer theme and animated kicker mannikins give the machine a distinctive, sports-focused presentation for its era.

Specific information about the machine's designer is not documented. A related, similarly-trimmed cabinet design has been noted by collectors in connection with an unknown manufacturer's game called "Racing," though the relationship between the two remains unclear.
