Pong and Ikaruga

@alturis Video olympics for the Atari 2600 offers "Pong" alike games.
You can use Vice to emulate.
I bought an actual Atari 2600 with paddles on ebay. ;-)

I second @jonnykesh here, ultimate pong is the best pi pong I’ve found (try saying that after a couple) and believe me, I’ve been trying to play pong since the beginning!

Thanks, guys. I wasn't really interested in playing pong much it is just one of those nostalgia games that I wanted in my cabinet like Rip Off. If it isn't a representation of the original thing then there isn't much point.

@udb23 do you mean Stella? Vice is for C64 and plus 4 etc.

@fruitybit ultimate pong is great. I am actually one of the people credited in the manual. Me and rev were really wanting to have the best pong / ball and paddle game we could. So we scoured the internet trying to find every games version we could find to be able to create this awesome game. Its cool that you can change the colors and turn the music on and off because personally me and rev wanted it to be where we could play it just in black and white like the old pong clone games that we both have lying around. For anyone who hasnt tried this game out I definitely recommend it.

I looked this up but wasn't sure what system it's for?

Edit: Nevermind I guess this is the Intellivision version people were talking about.

Fruitybit

@edmaul69 Ha! That’s awesome:) I love it, being able to play black and white, being able to turn music off is a true bonus, without a doubt the best version I’ve come across. Good on you:)

@fruitybit yeah the programmer is probably the best retro game programmer on the planet. He did an awesome job on this game. I harassed programmers and game producers for a long time to make a pong clone. Luckily rev got into producing intellivision games and had the same dream to have an awesome pong game made.
