Captain Caveman has devoted hours of his or her life to develop the finely-crafted PONG! Multiplayer 2.2. Your love of old games surpasses mine.Įduardo is not the only one to turn my more-or-less modern computer into the 1969 equivalent of a wooden box full of a handful of tubes and a pound of copper wire. The other includes the ability to play against others in an on-line Pong deathmatch.Įduardo Garcia Lopez is responsible for PingPong 0.7, a simple implementation of the classic game, replete with nostalgic touches such as the square ball and hard-to-control paddles.

I’ve sacrificed months of my life on the alter of video games since Dad and Mom purchased the family’s first Pong game back in 1977, a Sears model with detachable paddles.īlame the rainy Thorne Bay winters. Baer has given many of us a legacy of time spent in front of a television, twiddling white squares around with a paddle. If you want a measure of success, I will give you a yardstick: wasted time.
