Would be fire if this was 1970

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.

You can't get simpler than this. Even I(a chronic idiot) can code this up in twenty minutes with my basic knowledge of Java. And it just works. This version in particular has nothing special about it, altough it looks sleek.

9/10 simple and fun, atleast for a few minutes.

I give Pong a light 6 out of 10
