	PONG-Story: Main page
		The history of PONG games and derivates just started, would spread all over the globe, and die in the early 1980s.
		Once General Instruments released the first low-cost chip allowing to build a complete PONG system with few external components, a whole industry was launched and hundreds of manufacturers released their own line of PONG video games all over the world.
		Here's the answer to the most common problem that people encounter when they find their old PONG game sitting in their garage many years after, or when they buy a loose PONG game for the nostalgia and are missing the switch-box.

	Pong – Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Pong, and the survival of the universe does not depend on your ability to smack a ball around.
		One of the strongest additions to Pong's gameplay is how these power-ups are gathered; they appear on the board as spinning tops, which can be brought towards your side of the playing area by nudging it with a ball that last touched your paddle.
		The arenas where Pong: The Next Level moves away from the paddle vs. paddle notion are a little more uneven in terms of their fun factor, offering gamers mixed tasks with equally mixed results.

		Since Pong is composed of veteran musicians (combined, they've been in at least 25 bands), the quintet understands the time and work needed to get a new group up and running.
		Pong hopes its EP will attract attention from someone willing to infuse the band with enough capital to record a full-length album.

	The Gamer: Pong
		Pong is considered the world's first video game and certainly the forefather of the whole family of PC games.
		Pong consisted simply of a fl-and-white screen with two bars known as the paddles and a small square called the ball.
		The object was for each player to move the paddle up or down along their side of the court so as to contact the ball.

	Dartmouth pong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early pong had fewer cups and fewer rules, and was played by both men and women at parties, although it emerged before Dartmouth's coeducation.
		Because pong requires significant infrastructure - pong tables are generally considered too large to fit in most dorm rooms - and is best enjoyed outside the realm of college and government regulations on alcohol use, pong is not commonly played in dormitories.
		Pong is probably played most in the houses of fraternities and various other college-affiliated societies, including sororities, co-ed undergraduate societies and some senior societies, as well as in off-campus residences.

		Pong consoles with the actuall Atari label did not actually enter the market until 1976.
		This is the very first pong console to bear Atari's name, and basicly the same as the original Sears model.

	Ping Pong Curve
		DESCRIPTION: A ping pong ball is tossed with a rapid spin causing it to curve in flight.
		Friction from the sand paper on the ping pong ball causes it to spin rapidly in a clockwise direction for right-handed throws and counterclockwise for left handed throws.
		As the ball spins, the surface friction of the ball with the surrounding air drags a thin layer of air with it.

	The Essential 50 Part 2 -- Pong from 1UP.com
		Pong's success spread throughout the country, which garnered Bushnell and Atari a great deal of attention.

		While the wee tykes may not appreciate Pong's finer qualities or its historical impact, the game is largely responsible for making the medium happen in the first place.

	Pong Video Game History - Invention of the Pong Video Game
		Pong was the invention of Nolan Bushnell, a young engineer who introduced video table tennis to arcades in 1972.
		To a generation of gamers accustomed to 64-bit graphics and blazing processor power, Pong now looks absurdly low-tech: a tiny "ball" floats back and forth across a "net" bisecting a dark screen, and two players use knobs to manipulate "paddles" on the screen to hit the ball.
		In this rollicking, mammoth history of video games from pinball to Pong to Playstation II Kent, a technology journalist and self-professed video game addict, covers almost every conceivable aspect of the industry, from the technological leaps that made the games possible to the corporate power struggles that won (and lost) billions of dollars.

		The game Pong was the world's first video game in the early 70's, this is a modern version of it, made with a little bit less hardware than the original version.
		In the pong game each line is treated different if there is a ball on it or not.
		In pong, the two images are identical, so the game is not using the full y-resolution possible, but it doesn't matter because it is way better than the x-resolution anyway, making the x-resolution the biggest problem.

	Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Pong
		Pong hit the arcades in 1972, the same year as the first ever home video game, a dedicated TV tennis console called the Odyssey 1.
		Magnavox made a fatal miscalculation by trying to use the Odyssey 1 to pimp its line of TV sets; when the advertisements implied that the unit would only work with a Magnavox TV, owners of every other brand passed on the Odyssey.
		The first Pong machine was tested at a bar called Andy Capp's, and a few nights after placing it, Bushnell got a worried phone call from the bar's owner because the machine had stopped working.

	[KFCC] Ping Pong Review
		PING PONG analyzes the spirituality of competition and inter-personal relationships between team players and rivals.
		To them, ping pong was their livelihood and they only knew the color of their blood when it stained the handles of their paddles.
		The soundtrack is probably one of the sole reasons why PING PONG was such an experience for me and I can't wait to own the soundtrack so I can put it in my drawls.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Review - Pong
		Topping the psychedelic bottom-wiggling goodness of Pong's live shows is a tall order, but Killer Lifestyle is a dazzling aural postcard that'll make you wish you were there.
		Pong carries on the chunky rhythm section purveyed by bassist Larry Strub and drummer Lyman Hardy during the heady days of Austin's vaunted Ed Hall, but the action up top is a different story.
		Guitarists Gary Chester and Jason Craig, along with keyboard wizard Shane Shelton, wrap the local quintet's slow-driving groove up in a veil of Brian Eno-style retro-futurism that lends the proceedings the air of a 1975 Berlin bomb-shelter orgy with your hosts Iggy Pop and David Bowie.
