About The Game

Ping Pong is a table tennis-based arcade video game.

Ping Pong offers three different types of shot; Top spin, Back Spin and Smash. The actual game-play centres on shot timing and shot choice, with the players' bats moving automatically to track the movement of the ball.

In the single player mode, the player can opt to play the game on any one of five different skill levels.
