Oystron is pretty original.

I'd be just as happy with a Toaster scroll, since it would also have a
relationship with the 2600 (scrolls are generated directly by the Amiga
chipset, designed by Jay Miner).

The trajectory of balls from certain angles---they take a 45' turn for no
apparent reason. There really should be more consistent physics. And
with so few angles of rotation, the list of trajectories is very limited.
It's easy to anticipate where an attack is coming from. As a result, the
game isn't very playable unless the ball is bouncing between all four
players where the unpredictability comes from not knowing who is going to
be attacked next. The 1-player AI is also pretty bad.
