Rebound © 1981 Fabris, Robert.

Rebound is a game of skill for one player. Turn knob to select ball speed (0-fast 5-very slow) and pull trigger. You try to clear as many diamonds as possible off the board using a ball that may only be controlled as it bounces off the wall. Use joystick when ball approaches a wall to tell it to bounce (45 degrees) on the right, left, up, or down, You must hold joystick position until after ball has bounced off the wall.

If you clear the board, you are challenged to clear a second and third board. On the second board, one diamond is marked and will flash before you begin. If you do not erase this one last, the game is over. On the third board, one diamond will flash, but is not marked. You must remember this one to erase it last!

A couple more catches: points are deducted for crossing a path you have already travelled, and finally, you cannot bounce into a corner, or the game ends.
