O primeiro de todos né, e não envelheceu tão mal quanto outros tantos jogos.

Nota: 7/10 (★★★☆) - Bom

Recuerdo que llegué a jugarlo con mi abuelo.

Would be fire if this was 1970

Esse jogo é com certeza pong


Played briefly using the overpriced Atari Mini Pong Jr. plug & play that I bought out of impulse. The moment of realization that I bought a Pong plug & play was so sobering that I ended up selling half my game collection later that year. Buying a stupid thing like that and immediately regretting it is something every young person with financial freedom needs to experience.

Oh, uh, Pong itself. It's table tennis with simplified physics, and it might not look like much, but it helped jumpstart the video game industry. It's not a game I intend to return to, but I can respect its place in history, and you should, too.

Classic.

Changed my mind fuck this game and its CPU

I wish this had 2 players, and if it did ...."oh"

...es el dark souls de su época

You know, it's good fun for like 15 minutes. Otherwise you just have to respect its significance.

there are better games honestly

Maybe the first game but also the one to start it all

Nice to play but kind of outdated.

tive que programar essa poha e peguei trauma fds

It can be hard to look at Pong now and think it's impressive. When we consider the games we have nowadays, Pong is less than primitive. It is two bars, a square and a scoreboard. This is borderline archaic; but it IS important, and that importance cannot be understated.

I believe in giving games their original context, but even at that, I don't know if I'd have been as impressed with Pong in 1972 as I probably would've been with The Oregon Trail or Computer Space.

Atari 2600 doesn't allow for very expansive games, yet a lot of games tried to be what they couldnt be. Pong is not like that. Simple to the point: You are defending your wall by hitting the ball. That is the whole game, and it works great. Whenever I see people wanting more and more in videogames, I show them Pong to remind them that sometimes, less really is more.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 91

If you haven't played this game, or a variation of it, can you truly call yourself a video gamer.

This game isn't getting 5 stars because of the game, it is getting 5 stars because of the impact its existence has on all video games after it.


Play the somewhat fun version instead of the og https://wasm4.org/play/pong
