Pong - The Next Level ----- Hints ----- Don't expect to jump right in and master every level. Give yourself plenty of time and don't head right for the advanced levels of play, even if they are available to you. Getting power-ups is half the battle. Sometimes it's worth missing a point to keep the computer from gaining a power-up. Catching the power-ups that let you "grab" the Pong ball is a must. Once you've caught one, pressing the Return key just as the ball hits your paddle lets you aim the ball to your best advantage. This skill becomes important as you move through the levels, so perfect it quickly.
