Kiss (Bally)

KISS is an arcade pinball game based on the attention-grabbing rock band. It was designed by Jim Patla with artwork by Kevin O’Connor, and released in 1979 by Bally.

As is typical for pinball games of the era, there is no narrative, and the goal is to simply score points while rocking out all nite with the masked marvels. The word K-I-S-S is repeated four times in the center of the playfield; the player scores points by hitting targets and rollovers to light the letters, with additional points for completing an entire column or row. While Gene, Paul, Peter, and Ace play on from the strobing backglass, try to shoot for the center rollover to spot an entire row, or hit the A-B-C-D targets for double scoring, an extra ball, or a special.
