The Patrick Polly Swooshball Challenge (1998)

The Patrick Polly Swooshball Challenge is a game with a mix of Pong and Tennis. The game concept is based on a major commercial campaign by Candelia, one of the leading candy manufacturers in Scandinavia. Released as freeware, people had to send in 5 scanned barcodes from bags of Polly in order to receive the game.

Storyline

On planet Candelia, children learn to play swooshball as soon they can walk. The game is all about hitting the targets behind your opponent's back. At the centre of the court, there is a magnetic field. If the ball comes close to one of its centres it changes direction. Patrick Polly has learnt to use this to his advantage. A tip is that you do the same.
