Miss Ball for High Score ?

[Rob Mitchell]

Miss Ball for High Score ? Last night my girlfriend and I pulled out my Sears Tele-Games Super Pong IV ... Every time either of us missed the ball, our score would increment! I'm like, "That's not right!" She said, "That's how I remember it. Low score wins." So we pulled out several Pong clones which of course increment scoring correctly. Anyone else have a similar problem??

 

BTW She plays a mean game of Pong!

I recall an odd game variation on my sears version of Pong IV

 

there is a wall & you control the gap in the wall ( like reverse of a pong paddle ) ... if you can get the ball in the gap on your side , the point increases on your side.

That game is called Catch. I remember being disappointed in 1977 when that game was missing on the Pong Sports, Video Olympics cart.

 

This Pong is messed up! I wonder what the problem could be? I will have to look at a circuit diagram.
