 We didn't notice this effect, but we DID notice that the game was
essentially impossible.  There have been half-a-dozen or more of
us who've tried it on my Amiga and *NO*ONE* can track the @#$^%@#$%^ ball
in 3D.  The room looks really great.  The paddle is not too bad.  But
no way on the ball.  I sure hope that it is not inherent in trying to
do moving 3D images.
