"As the name suggests, The Wall has something to do with a wall. It is also correct that a ball is in play with which said wall must be destroyed in order to reach the next level.

The game is controlled with the joystick in port 1. But first to use the title screen.

The number of participants is determined with the joystick:
Up - 1 player down - 2 players down - 2 players right - 4 players It continues with the Music / Sound option, whereby the joystick upwards brings music and sound effects, the joystick downwards only music and no movement only effects sound.

But now to the game itself: As soon as the ball leaves the bottom of the screen, it is lost and a ball from the pantry, which comprises 9 balls, is made available. When all balls are used up, the game is over.

But if you cleverly fend off the ball with the racket, it will take a while before this happens.

The displays on the screen are structured as follows:
On the right side, for each individual player, from left to right is the level display, the number of balls and the point display, which increases when stones are shot from the wall.

Information on which player's turn appears at the bottom right.

After pressing the fire button, the display disappears and the game begins.

The small stones count 3 points, the long stones 2 points and the big ones "only" count one point because they are easier to hit.
Many thanks from our side to the programmer, Andreas Montecchio, to whom we owe this program."
