Catch the Ball / XO
Catch the Ball puts one or two players in the role of a circus clown who has to catch a while ball which comes rolling down a maze of obstacles. The clown has to try to follow the ball as it falls its unpredictable path. A time limit of three "game minutes" is counted down and the player with more balls caught by the end of the time wins.
The joystick is used to move the clown left or right and the "action" button accelerates his movements. There are 6 possible variations, with the players taking turns after each ball caught, taking turns after each miss or in a single player mode, with the time limit on or off for each mode.
Noughts and Crosses is also known as tic-tac-toe. Players move a "+" cursor over the 9 square matrix and place either blue noughts or red squares. The first to get three symbols in a straight line wins. If all six symbols have been placed and there's no winner, they can be removed by placing the cursor over and pressing the action button and then be replaced.
The controls are as follows:
Directional Joystick: - Move the clown (left or right along the bottom of the screen) to align with the falling ball.
Action Button: - Press or hold the action button to accelerate your clown’s movement, allowing you to quickly dash across the screen if the ball drops unexpectedly.
*TIP*
The ball falls quickly. Rely on the action button on your Odyssey 2 joystick to close the distance between your clown and the ball as fast as possible.
