-- Thanks for the info. Here's Owen's response:
"Yes, I do recall this. If I remember, you could move a gun up and down the screen, and shoot at a ball in the middle. Think of it as marbles. Each hit would accelerate the ball towards the other side, and they could shoot it back your way. I believe your scored when the ball when out one side like in PONG.
I sent a message to Lyle to ask him about it. Not sure why I remember this game, but I do."
EDIT: more from Owen: "FYI, just talked to Scott Evans. He says he has a board set actually, just never wired it up. He also believes that there was a small Kee Games run of that game." --
Okay.....this explains the "bounds/boundary" description and also the Q Ball description too. When Adam gets copies in the mail, this might be moved up to top of his to-do list. :-)
The stuff will include some schematics for Ramtek games, Allied Leisure Zap, Crossfire, and maybe a couple URL/Electra/Allied Leisure games such as Avenger and Street Burners. Roms and proms have been dumped a long time ago for several of the games.
>I'll ask Scott about whether the board has a ROM on it, as per gregf's post.
A parts list page scan and a pcb layout page scan now in the thread in case anyone wants to do some checking too. It doesn't look like a rom is used. I am hoping it is like same scenario with Atari Highway manual. Highway has a mention of a rom ic in the manual, but it isn't shown in Highway schematics.
