What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 5August 1983Graphics ★★★ · Play-Action ★★★★
Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 2 No. 1November 19833 joysticks
JoyStik December 1983December 1983★★★

“This game is more notable for its challenging (and sometimes frustrating) play action.”

— Computer Entertainer, August 1983

“But the 3-D illusion is nearly perfect, the higher difficulty levels—including the really wild Elimination rounds—are incredibly fast and furious, and the game/set/match structure is well-designed and satisfying to complete.”

— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, November 1983

“Wall Ball is a three- dimensional contest remi- niscent of Breakout. … It's fast, and requires good hand/eye coordination before you can really get involved. An excellent challenge.”

— JoyStik, December 1983

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system. Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks. JoyStik’s capsule ratings run from one star to five.
