Very good. Very silly.

But you don't even need to leave AB for a bit of nostalgia ;-)

Are you supposed to 'do' something? I'm not old enough for this.

[gness]

Ahh!! Got it! Will do better when I haven't had a glass....x

[Tilly2]

What do you do? Tell me!

[sunny-dave]

Move the bar at the bottom from side to side with your arrow keys - bounce the ball back up to break through the wall

[Buenchico]

Tilly:
Use your mouse to move the blue bar, at the foot of the screen, left and right. The idea is to stop the ball reaching the bottom of the screen so that it keeps knocking out blocks above.

[Buenchico]

Dave has correctly stated that you can use the arrow keys instead of your mouse. Indeed, if you're trying to emulate the way that the game was played on machines (looking like coffee tables) in pubs, that the proper way to do it.

I got 344. Is that good or bad?

[Tilly2]

[Buenchico]

^^^that = that's

[gness]

Rubbish score, Cupid!... ;-)

I used to be really good at playing PONG: made quite a few drafts of beer with my skill:)

[plowter]

Huh! These young pups probably think they invented nostalgia.
I remember tellys where you had to push a button to change the channel.
Come to think of it, I remember the tellys with slot meters.
Ah, happy days.

[Tilly2]

535 but I used the mouse. It was much easier.

[DaisyNonna]

I remember not having a telly.

[Sipowicz]

What's a telly?

[jno]

1031. I suppose that's ok for a beginner with a dodgy cursor.

[stewey]

Someone who grasses you.

[baza]

I scored 549 using mouse.
