This is the basic pong version built-in the Atari Ultra Pong Double dedicated system. It plays like the original pong except the background is in colour.
|
|
|
|
There is also a 4 player option, like the arcade game [Pong Doubles](/software/pong-doubles/), but in fact it plays differently. Here each player can move within a quarter of the playfield, wherease in [Pong Doubles](/software/pong-doubles/), each player can move the full vertical length.
