Star Foot

The Star Foot, produced by Satem of Paris, France in 1964, is a head-to-head pinball machine designed for simultaneous two-player competition. This electro-mechanical (EM) machine has two players stationed at opposite ends of the playfield, with each player's flipper buttons controlling only the flippers facing their opponent. A notable feature is its set of twelve flippers, with each of the four flipper buttons operating three flippers in unison, adding complexity and strategy to play.

What sets Star Foot apart from other pinball machines of its era is its focus on competitive, simultaneous play, a departure from the standard single-player design common to most EM games of the time. Its soccer/football theme reflected the sport's international popularity. A flyer-sized advertisement for the game is known to have appeared in a magazine dated January 1964.

No specific information on the machine's designer or artist is available, but as an early head-to-head pinball design, Star Foot remains an intriguing piece for collectors and enthusiasts exploring the diversity of 1960s European pinball.
