The object of the game is to score 15 points before your opponent. Do this by deflecting the ball with your paddle, trying to score a miss by the other player. A point is scored to the opposite player for every one missed by his opponent until one or the other reaches a score of 15. This is where the similarity to Pong ends. In a two-player game, player one controls the paddles on the left and right side of the screen simultaneously and player two controls the paddles at the top and bottom of the screen at the same time as well. In a four-player game, each player controls one of the four paddles located on the screen, with players one and two being the left and right paddles and players three and four being the top and bottom paddles.
In the middle of the screen there is a wall section that looks like a large plus sign. This is used to deflect the ball randomly around the screen.

I've only seen one of theses games and I was able to purchase it for only $40 back in 1984. Because of the "limited" action and the constant displaying of the game visuals on the screen, the monitor had permanant burn in that was only noticed when the game was off. One sad note: I gave the game away for nothing to an operator who informed me after the game was loaded on his truck that his intentions for the game was a conversion. It was truly a well constucted cabinet as was evident when trying to move it - ugh!
The cabinet is quite unique and well constructed, which is evident when trying to move it. The monitor glass and marquee are all one piece.
Because of the limited action and the constant displaying of the game visuals on the screen, the monitor suffers permanant burn-in that is quite noticable when the game is off.
