Classic Arcade
Pong
Pong is the foundational arcade experience for players who like simple competitive games. Pong is a classic two-dimensional sports game that simulates table tennis. Each player controls an on-screen paddle by moving it vertically across the left or right side of the screen. Players use the paddles to hit a ball back and forth. The goal is to reach a set number of points before the opponent. Points are earned when one player fails to return the ball to the other. Precision and timing are key to keeping the ball in play and outsmarting your opponent's defense. Tap play to open the full game. Once you start, the interactive board and controls will appear immediately below.
