• A prototype dated 5-11-83 has the shark fin (described below) but it moves faster than in the released version. {Scott Stilphen}
• The sun will set and eventually a shark fin appears, moving slowly across the top of the screen if an active game is left idle long enough (picture #1). Note that in B&W mode it’s not visible. {Bob Polaro}
• Sometimes you can serve far enough out of bounds that it appears the ball actually bounces on the ocean! {Scott Stilphen}
• There’s an area between the players, slightly wider than the ball, that neither one can reach. This is most noticeable when serving, as sometimes the ball will curve right into this spot.
• Although it’s hard to see, the ball is actually comprised of two colors – the ball is brown, except for the top and bottom edges, which are purple.
• BUG: The manual states the game ends when the first team to score 15 and win by at least 2 points, but play will stop when one team reaches 20 points whether or not they’re ahead by 2 points. {Scott Stilphen}
• FRYING: Hold FIRE button and fry until you see five “0”’s at the bottom of the screen, no sun, and the game starts automatically (picture #2). There won’t be any waves (in the ocean). The sun will appear after about 30 seconds, and will never set. Also, the shark fin won’t appear. {Scott Stilphen}
