Do you have enough life experience to remember the Atari 2600 and maybe even played its games? If so, you surely remember Pong, right? That legendary game became a cornerstone of gaming history and even became its own genre. Here's Pong, for the MSX.

Developer Joesg wanted to reinvent the classic game Pong with a fresh twist, something unique. However, he struggled to figure out the perfect hook for his idea. So, he just started coding, creating a version of Pong - well, almost... Maybe the player could find some sparkling inspiration, because poor Joesg is really eager for your feedback on this.

I love the game! At the beginning I was a little bit confused on how to play it, but it's incredibly addictive. I would call it the Angry Bird of the modern era.

I don't quite know if it is meant to be a joke or the developer really wants feedback/ ideas. Maybe i misunderstand it.
