An arcade game machine of physical exertion, skill and chance for a player wherein a player uses a fist to hit a cushion that is connected to a lever mechanism within the game machine. The lever mechanism is composed of three elements about a fulcrum attached to the game machine. Upon impact with the cushion, the lever mechanism launches a ball vertically. A reflector diverts the launched ball into the playing field. One or more player-movable paddles within the playing field may be manipulated by the player to send the ball to a target within the playing field. Successful manipulation may be awarded a prize.
