Simple enough: the ball comes toward you and you hit it with the paddle. The trick comes when you put spin on it, by moving the paddle as you hit the ball. You want tro get the computer going one way and land the ball in the opposite corner. You do this via curves and deflections off the wall.

I am shaking in anger. For some reason I cannot reach level 9, no matter what. I had three lives left on level 8 and the computer was on it's last. And I lost all three. For those of you who've gotten 30k and up, what levels were you getting to?

I've reached level 9, but that's it. I can't make the computer lose any lives on level 9. The trick is to have ridiculously long rallies starting around level 5 or so. Apparently. I haven't had the patience to try it.

Go with long rallies from around 4 or 5 until you stop getting points for them any more, then kill them off with a shot directly into the corners.

Josh, I think you pretty much can't get past level 9, because I don't think any of us have yet. In fact, I have never won a rally on level 9.

yeah, nor have I. I've been there quite a bit and haven't even knocked off one of that little bugger's lives.

I did get to level 9 finally. I got the computer once, and then he schooled me. But I only got 30000 something.

You just have to try to get it and when your about to hit it flick the mouse so it curves and it makes it harder for the comp to hit it

I made it to 7, that's about as far as my skill could take me. Didn't think I could get that far!
