Description
This game uses paddles for 2-player verses only.
It took 27 years, but Atari finally published Pong for the Atari 2600. Actually, it is only available for the [[gametag:flashback Atari Flashback 2.0]]. It may come as a shock to some people who thought sure Pong had been available for the Ancient Atari VCS, but its true, Pong was never a 2600 game. However, A version of Pong for the 2600 was available as a game variant of [[gameid:99798 Video Olympics]]. Also, BASIC source code for 2600 Pong was included in the manual for [[gameid:20339 Basic Programming]]. The source code version could be played only after starting Basic Programming, typing in the source code, and running it. Once you switched off the system, you'd lose Pong and have to type it in again to play.
