Overrated multiplayer game, story mode was even worse

Wait wait, the pong industry (pontech) reports had the projected user acquisition growth up to 42 trillion players by now!
Could... all those projections be complete garbage??

It will bounce back

vestraculpa.bsky.social•156 days ago

I'm still playing the single player version.

tabbeigh.bsky.social•66 days ago

devs haven't released any new content packs in years. Game is dead

Get woke, go broke.

Failed to innovate. Needed more paddles, or more balls, or more walls. Not sure which, but innovation!

blubfeesh.bsky.social•157 days ago

Obviously the solution is introducing a battle pass that lets you buy balls with different colors and designs on them using our new patented bitcoin $AtariFunBux! /s

Why did you not call it paddle pass. Your bleat would have been perfect

blubfeesh.bsky.social•150 days ago

... You're right that would have been better. XD

I go back and forth on this. Also, sometimes up and down.

afbourque.bsky.social•150 days ago

Doesn't even have online competitive play! No leaderboards!

andyroz.bsky.social•150 days ago

I made a web version once - it failed to go anywhere.

Waiting for the HD remake

wingedhussar.bsky.social•150 days ago

That'll run at 144 Hz with ray tracing on.

Minimum req. 4080.

canotartanpaint.bsky.social•150 days ago

seems to be a typo, perhaps you mean 40x80?

thebiglutovsky.bsky.social•157 days ago

Dead game. RIP

Ever since Rockstar came out with their pong clone for 360, it was lights out for Atari.

(Also how weird is it that Rockstar made a full fledged table tennis game out of nowhere?)

pjthecat.bsky.social•146 days ago

Still going strong since I was 13. Can’t improve on perfection

scooterbones.bsky.social•157 days ago

I was pretty sure staring at a blank screen slowly gathering dust would be a Pong-killer

mcoorlim.com•157 days ago

Are we talking Pong, Quadrapong, Snoopy Pong, Doubles Pong, or the other video game in existence, Table Tennis for Two on the Magnavox Odyssey?

The Pong playerbase is undermonetized.
