Experience the fast-paced thrills of Ping-Pong!
In this challenging and realistic 8-bit simulation of Ping-Pong, you will need fast reflexes
and good timing. Create strategies to defeat the CPU or a friend. You can use "drive" and
"cut" techniques to return the ball, allowing you to control speed and to dump the ball
to undefended spots on the opponent's court. And if your opponent hits an easy "floater"
back to you, get your timing down and smash it back! As an added bonus, Konami's Billiards
is also accessible in this ColecoVision game cartridge!
In an effort to raise money to fund his Opcode Games projects (most notably his Super
Game Module), Eduardo Mello had previously been auctioning off some prototypes of SG-1000
and MSX ports on eBay. They sold rather well, but the downside is that having only five
ColecoVision cartridges of each prototype meant that only five people could play and enjoy
each game.
In early March 2011, Eduardo contacted me and offered me his unreleased SG-1000 and MSX ports,
so that they may be published by Team Pixelboy, including his modified MSX port of Konami's
Ping-Pong (which contains Konami's Billiards as a secret bonus). I gladly accepted, and now
you can add this high-quality game to your collection!
