Pong isn't exactly the best game around; it's just an extremely basic game of table tennis with really barebones graphics, but... come on. It's one of the first games ever made. This is basically the best they could do at the time.

Weird to think this game is over 50 years old. Five whole-ass decades. Wow.

Respect the actual OG. If this get less than a 10 its disrespectful

Me, rating A Trip to the Moon(1902) 2 and a half stars on letterboxd : "Special effects are a bit corny πŸ€“"


What else needs to be said about Pong? The gameplay loop is a little janky but it's still banger and soul. It didn't age well but it still holds up. Peak, even if a little mid. One of the games of all time. Check out my full review on my Youtube channel here.

Took me 19 tries to beat the hardest difficulty of a computer player, and boy did I have a little exclamation of satisfaction once I beat it. Simple premise, but a solid loop, probably more so with two players as it was intended to be played.

the ray tracing 4k remaster is a bit overdue if you ask me

Peak gaming experience πŸ’ͺ

The plain cheese pizza of video games.

Yes... It was the first video game ever. But why would you play it?

Swear it never responds as cleanly as you want it to

People just dont understand the complexity of pong. the balls represent ww2 and hitlers rise of power. And the pong represents each nations struggle to win the war. truly the best game of all time. (i am being ironic btw)

Coincidence that this was released the same year as Watergate? I think not.

I actually have a version of this game on the Apple Watch and enjoy it well enough for what it is. Mostly a game that is fun to play on occasion but not like a video game that I seek out to play.

The best thing I have seen recently is 4-player Pong at Dave & Busters and enjoyed that one better with friends.

forgot to log this because... it's pong

but I recently played the game for about 1 hour, it's freaking hypnotizing


7/10, 'cause it was one of the first video games. Still decent fun!

Yup, it’s Pong alright

I played this on an Arcade1Up reproduction cabinet with my 7 and 5 year old cousins. They were very intrigued because they had never seen a gaming console with knobs before. It took them a few matches before they mastered the sensitivity of the dials, but soon they were playing like pros. I was genuinely surprised how much they enjoyed it, especially considering there was a Nintendo Switch a few feet away. I thought the monochrome graphics would bore them, but the completive nature hooked them. My great grandmother used to say "A new broom looks clean, but an old broom sweeps clean", and I think I finally understand what she meant.
