Description

Crazy Ball is a Pong variant for the 8080 processor written in MITS BASIC. A single player plays a variant most similar to squash. The paddle is on one side of the screen while the three other edges of the screen are impenetrable walls. The player must prevent the ball from bouncing past the paddle.
