Strange tennis type arcade game which was free with Your Sinclair magazine.

Here's the gen on how to play for your life!

1. Hit the robot opponent with your bat, it's much faster and gives him a hell of a headache, whilst running his energy down.

2. The net which changes shapes on its sides is deadly. Jump up against it, but not onto it to hit the robot or you'll lose energy.

3. Don't bother with the random screen option, 'cos this will start you on a harder set of screens with a rating of -A-.

4. On the screen which has the two balls, jump between the balls and then by them to get the robot.

5. If you have a small thingy trundling around trying to kill you, then jump against the net to get through to the other side and the robot.

6. It's easier to judge where a ball is by watching its shadow.

7. When trying to hit balls, stay in the centre of the playing area.

8. Dodge other objects like big balls, the giant eggcup and the big coin.

9. When confronted with all four balls starting at the same time, jump forward twice and then press fire. Three of the four balls should land in the goal.
