This is an advanced ball and paddle game. You have to destroy
all the blocks on each level in order to pass to the next. Every
now and then you will destroy a block with a power up or even a
power down behind it. These include different weapons, lives,
and sometimes something that blows you up. You must install the
patch to install and use the additional boards.
