Pong

About this game

This version of Pong has been updated a bit, and includes one or two player modes and different difficulty settings. It is, however, a bit quirky ... it just doesnt seem to play quite right for some reason. The games description claims "VGA graphics" but there are hardly any graphics to speak about."Pong" is one of the earliest and most iconic arcade games, and its DOS version brings the same simple yet addictive gameplay to personal computers. Released in the 1970s and later adapted for DOS, "Pong" simulates table tennis, where players control paddles to hit a ball back and forth. With its minimalist design, straightforward controls, and competitive gameplay, "Pong" remains a timeless classic in the world of video games.
