Nearly the same as [Odyssey 100](/museum/magnavox-odyssey-100/)'s [Tennis](/software/tennis-384/), but here you can play with 4 paddles (4 players if you want).

Another improvement is the onscreen scoring, quite rudimentary: 2 small rectangles (at the bottom of the screen) are moving from left to right each time a player win a point. They disappear off-screen when they reach 15 points.

Of course there is still the "English" knob reminiscent of the first [Odyssey](/museum/magnavox-odyssey/). The English is used to curve the Ball Spot to fake out your opponent, adding fun to simple pong games.
