Tank-Pong Games
TANK-PONG is a unique series of games from ATARI. The Missile will bounce off the walls and
barriers of the playfield. In the “Direct Hit” games, you score by hitting your opponent either head on, or
by bouncing your missile. In “Billiard Hit,” your missile must bounce at least once before hitting your
opponent to score. If, after firing, your own missile hits your tank, it will not score against you.
