Screen Tennis lets you play a game of Pong on your desktop. Pong is an old computer game that simulates a game of 2D table tennis.
Screen Tennis has a few flaws. First, the game never speeds up to a point where it is challenging to play. The first point that I played went on for 4 or 5 minutes before I became uninterested. After I conceded a few goals the ball moved a bit faster, but I don't know what caused that. The second flaw, which can be a consequence of the first one, is that the computer opponent never misses the ball. So, the game becomes boring. There is a third flaw that doesn't have anything to do with gameplay. When I launched the "About Window" the game paused, but it resumed before I quit that screen. And when I tried to quit it, it would not quit. It just got stuck there in the middle of the screen.
