damn i thought you were talking about the old atari 2600 game, where you used the paddles and 4 people played against each other... kinda like breakout
each person has a little "warlord" and a "castle" behind them with a thingy in the middle of the "castle"
each time the "ball" hit your "castle" a brick would disappear... your "warlord" could hold the ball and aim it at any of the other three "castles" to try to take them out... fun ass game!!
