Editor note

Up to 4 players compete simultaneously. Uses one or two paddles controller sets. It's like Pong plus Breakout for 4 players.

This game is hidden on the Atari Flashback 2.0 system. To find it, enter '1972' in a steady rhythm using the joystick (↑↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↓↓). You will then need to plug in a set (or 2 sets) of Atari Paddles which are not included with the Flashback 2.0.

The AI is allowed to throw the ball in any direction. The human players can only throw straight away from their warlord. This is supposedly compensation because the AI players move too slow.
