Schnip

A squash-style rally for two players, BLACK and WHITE. Both run freely around the court in eight directions. The ball flies diagonally, bounces off the brick front wall and both side walls, and leaves the court at the back. Touching the ball sends it back toward the front wall and gives it the other player's colour, so the ball's colour always shows who must play it next. When the ball leaves the court, the player whose colour it has loses the point. The point's winner serves. Every five points the level rises and the ball speeds up, and long rallies speed it up too. A racket that stays still too long does not return the ball. First to 21 wins. One player can face a computer WHITE.

Controls: Controller 1 plays BLACK and controller 2 plays WHITE. The stick moves and a button serves. On the title, up and down choose a line, left and right change it, and a button starts.
