Ball Games in Mercenary

A few of the levels in Mercenary have spots were you can dunk a ball and get a spawned power-up. What's the general view of these in-game games. Does anyone bother with them? Or are they a waste of programing?

I like to mess around with them. I think I managed to sink all the balls I could find in the PTMC Tracking Station (had to use Concs to get one ball over a beam).

Some of the powerups spawned are well worth the effort (Mega Missiles anyone?).

I wasn't crazy about the ball/bomb trick in Level 15, but it was optional. In Merc, the ball games were OK.
There were also several 'bounce the laser off the mirror' tricks.

ive finished both ball games in MERC. the Dravis Strong hold is kinda hard..

the forcefield lasers on MERC are easy. just use the plasma on BP Spray and Pray
