Table Tennis Games
Table tennis is a popular real world sport – which is yet another example of how computer based gaming has taken great sports into new online hobbies.
In the real world examples of table tennis games, players would take up a hollow ball and knock it back and forth with small rounded mini handle rackets (also known as “bats” or “paddles”).
The game is played on a firm table, divided by a net.

Visually, this thing is pretty good. You see the bats clearly and the 3d view of the table tennis area is great. I couldn’t get sound going on my game, which was a shame – but you can move the mouse and that moves your table tennis bat and simply click the mouse to swing at the ball.

Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent’s options to great advantage.
