Official description

Wipeout increases the excitement and player involvement of coin-operated elimination games. A special "frustration bumper" bounces the ball in random patterns so players don’t get bored. It’s a
new game every time. There’s also a unique scoring system - adjustable from 5 to 7 points - displayed at each goal, that player loses a point. The game ends when all except one player are down to
zero. The results? Plenty of action for the money, and the kind of competitive challenge that keeps people coming back for more.

Description

Wipe Out is a four player Pong variant. Each player controls a paddle at one side of the screen and must prevent a ball from hitting their side or lose a point. When a player loses all points he's out of the game (wipe out!). The last player in the game wins. At the center of the screen is a cross which when touching the ball deflects it at a random angle to keep the players on their toes.
