Pong

After the release of Space Wars in 1971, Pong was released in 1972 - the first ever arcade game! Created by Nolan Bushnell (with help from Al Alcorn) the game led to the birth of Atari Computers that same year.

In 1975, Atari re-released Pong as a home video game. A simple monochrome game where the player moves the paddles to bounce the ball from one "court" to another, much like tennis. This version remains true to the original with the addition of a little colour.

Instructions: To play this version, move the mouse up and down to move your paddle (the one on the right). Click on "serve" to begin every time a point is scored (make sure you press down and let up the mouse button on the serve button). You have ten reversals, also. Press the H key at any time to reverse the horizontal movement, or press V to change the vertical movement. Game is to 15.
