A classic idea merged with modern awesomesauce...
[ Ver. 2.3 ]
[ Description ]
A complete remake of the classic PONG, featuring gameplay with up to 4 simultaneous players or intelligent (?) bots, plenty of different gamemodes, tons of different pong balls, extensive statistics tracking, awesome graphic FX, and frantic gameplay with the multiple pong balls on screen at the same time![ Screenshots ]
