This is the first game pack for the Odyssey, and has one game: Table Tennis.

One of the early fathers of Pong. Table Tennis is one of the first attempts at recreating the sport in your screen.

Like many of its later renditions, each player controls one "paddle" on opposite sides of the screen. The objective is to hit the moving ball past your opponent's side, winning a point, while preventing your opponent from doing the same to you. At all times, the players must avoid the top or bottom of the screen (otherwise, it's called "ball off the table".

There's no score keeping on screen, so the players must keep score and apply their own rules on winning a match. It's suggested that the first player to get 21 points wins the match, though.
