Its a pong clone, and a really dreadful one. The game looked promising, a basic pong clone, simple to play, easy to get into and a lot of fun, but the game itself is very poorly written.

For starters the game crashes at random with random errors such as Out of Screen, Integer out of Range and Invalid Colour, all at 10:6. Once it crashes you may press C to continue but it becomes impossible to start a one player game at it crashes before it starts, forcing you to play a two player game. After so many crashes the game will eventually refuse to start up at all.

Another problem is the ball. After a player scores a point, the ball will reset to a new position, but is very unpredictable and random and you end up scoring points without having to do anything and your end up scoring the required 15 points by hitting the ball less than six times, if the game allows you to that far without crashing.

For all Pong die-hards, avoid this clone, it's not worth your time.

Well I certainly did not find this as buggy as Raphie states, although it did bug when I ran it on 48K initially before switching to 16K and it ran fine. However, it is still a painfully slow game and good luck reaching the ball when you are on one side and it spawns on the other side because nine times out of ten you won't reach it. Not hideous but still pretty bad and too slow to take seriously.
