INTRODUCTION
 PinPong is an arcade game, a mixture of the old good Arcanoid and the
not so old Ultimate Spinball.

 The object of the game is to blast all the blocks without loose your
ball(s).
 There are four paddles at each side of the screen to achieve this and
also some power-ups.
 These are: Fire, Super, eXtra ball, (more) Balls and Missile.
 Super is a situation that you can relax for 20 seconds and
don't worry about anything...
 The 'more Balls' adds 2 balls while you are playing if you have
less than five.

You fire with left mouse button and shoot missiles with right.
You can pause the game pressing 'p'and quit with the 'esc' key.

When you start the game you'll see the
MAIN MENU

              Start
              Options
              High scores
              Help
              Exit

GAME OPTIONS
 Here you can choose lives (between 3-5-7), if you want music or sound fx or
load a level set you have saved before.

GAME FEATURES
 The game saves the ##greater## level you have pass so when
you start a game you can start from the latest level you played last time.
The game comes also with a level editor.
You can save your level set and in the game load it and enjoy it!.
Also if you finish all the levels the game continues with RANDOM LEVELS !!

 That's enough for now and anyway there is help in the game too.
 So go ahead and read it and then play this great game.
And something more: DioPaint, the program I used to create the images
is also my program; a small and good painting program...(available also
for downloading)
