It's the arcade classic Pong, except now there's stages and each one offers a unique gimmick to contend with while duking it out with a CPU or a friend! Sadly, the game gets super hard super quick, making going against the computer to unlock more stages really tough. Each stage also has different phases to challenge, with each one offering a new twist on whatever the initial gimmick was.

Overall, it's a punishing Pong experience. Unless you consider yourself a Pong pro, I don't think you'll have much fun here.

Fun fact about the PS1 version of the game: This is one of those games that doubles as an audio CD. While the game does have a fun soundtrack, that is not what you get when you put it in a music player. You get the main theme, but you also get a bunch of ambient sounds for some reason. Weird.
