pong is a blast with a friend and real paddle controllers

Pong is pretty fun actually

Yes. In 1977.

yes

is this the paddle game general?

Fuck ya, ive played for hours with paddle controllers. Its a game of putting your zen against the opponents zen

>>5154623
My mom once said "I can't believe we were ever entertained by that."

>>5154628
This.

Couch multiplayer. We still played it in college over a decade ago. Add some beer and get four players on the Atari VCS version and yeah, it's still a hell of a lot of fun to play, but I prefer Warlords myself.

It’s primitive but fun as hell, something I can’t say for an odyssey or atari 2600 game

>Not for Atari 2600
>Video Olympics
>Literally Pong with 50 variations
Man, you really know what you're talking about. I'm willing to bet you've never played either of those systems.

Why wouldn't it be even today? Concepts don't age. It's the essential kind of a competitive tennis game. Everything else is pretty much just bling, you could render the ball with 200000 polygons and give the game a photorealistic look of the paddles with textures anc and a detailed background- but you would at the core still play the same game. Bet a friend and it still is a blast. All it's missing is a bit more sound, just the *blip* has these quiet pauses inbetween. But otherwise...

I grew up when this was the only game to play. When Breakout came out it was like a fucking revolution.

kek

Pong can be fun, even today but WARLORDS - that shit is a fucking blast

>>5154623
You're supposed to be playing against a human, anon. It's not about the game, it's about the competition.

>>5155573
Warlords fucking rules. Playing with 3 other bros and drinking beers is a gaming experience like no other.

>>5154623
Yes. Millions of people. But that was way before you were born.

>>5154623
yes

>>5154628
The way the game devs intended
Too bad i dont have either one of those ;_;

>>5156267
cheep up anon, we'll all find someone we can play pong with. At least Ataris and paddle controllers are still cheap.

>>5155749
Warlords! Warlords!

WARLORDS! WARLORDS!

>>5156757
Is that the XBLA version?

I remember a four player game called Paddle Derby. It had side controllers for each player. Pretty neat thing.

Yeah it's fun, it just gives you that kind of giddy excitement like Tennis for the NES does

is mario tennis 64 considered a pong game?

>>5154623
The versions with rotating paddles seem pretty rad
