Desktop Arcade Ball

Players take turns launching a metal ball with a sprint loaded rod up a ramp and into one of the holes beyond. Each hole is labeled with point values ranging from 10 to 50. After 10 shots by each player, the highest score win. A perfect game is 500 points. Players can play on teams or cooperatively to try to beat the high score. The skill of the game is primarily in how far back you pull the launcher, and thus how much force is applied. A little looseness in the launching mechanism also permits a small amount of additional control.
