What Bat 'n Ball is
Bat 'n Ball is an arcade game developed by ButtonSoft and released in 1995. It is available on DOS only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Bat 'n Ball is a game that tests your reflexes as you attempt to guard a castle of sorts from a drug-crazed bouncing ball. You have at your disposal a crude but effective bat and (I assume) nerves of steel. Your castle is surrounded by a brick wall that crumbles whenever it gets hit by the malevolent ball. Defend it valiantly, for a hit to its core will lose you a life (bat). Stick around until your opponents lose their castles and you will progress to a new screen. Be careful - you have only three lives with which to brave the 20 screens and the last screen hides a nasty surprise!
