This is a simulation of the 1974 Marx T.V. Tennis electro-mechanical toy. It is the first (and surely
not the last) simulator i have done, so please bear with me since i'm still learning how to program.
To play, it is a simple "Pong" game (yup...another one) so no need a lot of explications...LOL!!
I had this electro-mechanical toy a few years ago and gave it to a friend of mine for displaying
in his video game store. Since then, i tried to replicate this toy the best as i can remember it
(played only twice) so it there's some adjustments to do, please feel free to e-mail me with
comments/suggestions and a video of this thing would be just peachy (please don't try to make to
much noises while filming so i can rip the sounds from the audio).
So enough "blah-blah-blah", here's the buttons configuration to play:
Main buttons:
-------------
"ESCAPE" = Quit/Exit game
"P" = Pause
"F1" = Full/Window mode
"F4" = Reset game
"1" = Human player 1 or AI
"2" = Human player 2 or AI
Note" Press "1" & "2" for a demo mode
Player 1 buttons:
-----------------
"W" = UP
"S" = DOWN
Player 2 buttons:
-----------------
"UP" = UP
"DOWN" = DOWN
Marx TV Tennis "COLOR" models:
------------------------------
There are two different color models released: Green and Red Wine, but i added also the "Black"
model pictured on the boxes just for fun! You can choose any of the three models anytime during
game play.
* "F5" = Green model
* "F6" = Red Wine model
* "F7" = Black model
Hope you'll have fun playing it with (and maybe relive some found memories too!)
