Almost the same game as [Tennis](/software/tennis-622/) for the [Odyssey 400](/museum/magnavox-odyssey-400/), except the display is now in colour and the players are graphically well represented (small players holding their racket).

There is still the automatic service, on-screen scoring when ball not in play and english ball effect, but no more 4-paddle mode.
