This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The game is a bit like tennis. Played using the mouse buttons Select(left) and Adjust(right). You are the "paddle" at the bottom of the screen. The paddle at the top is controlled by the computer. The ball bounces off the two paddles at 2 different angles. These are found from the distance along the paddle. Choose the Level by highlighting the one you would like and clicking. Simple isn't it? But be warned, This game is addictive! This game is Freeware. Distribute as you please. If you have any problems (or donations!!) please write to: Richard Critchley 53 Daresbury Road, Eccleston St.Helens Merseyside England WA10 5DR
