Radar blip is a family friendly night game that takes a baseball field and envisions it as radar screen. Blip, Blip, Blip...

Players act as airplanes attempting to avoid detection by outwitting radar operators. While the operators, at the same time, try to hunt and shoot down the opposing team's planes.
