Handball

Handball is a game written in Extended BASIC, from an issue of Color Computer News magazine. It is similiar to the old Pong-style games one used to hook up to a TV set, from before the Atari 2600 and Magnavox Odyssey game console systems revolutionized the home video game industry. It requires two players to play at once, and you try to keep the ball in motion without missing it.

One thing unique about this version: Only one player can move at a time: the person who is supposed to be returning the ball.
