 Beer pong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike many other variants of beer pong, slam pong is a fast-moving game that retains some of the rules of ping pong but borrows many of its rules and game play from volleyball.
Beer pong can be played with or without this rule.
Beer pong is usually played with two teams of two persons each, two teams of one person, or a two-on-one handicap match.

 PONG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PONG can be played either by a single player pitted against a computerized opponent, or by two players each controlling a paddle.
PONG was a video game based on ping-pong, released by Atari on November 29, 1972.
PONG also served as a source of inspiration for Atari's game Breakout (1976) which was itself updated successfully ten years later by Taito under the name Arkanoid.

 The Gamer: Pong
Pong consisted simply of a black-and-white screen with two bars known as the paddles and a small square called the ball.
Miss the ball and your opponent scored a point.
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.

 Pong – Review
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 control problems are especially unfortunate when you consider that the flaws in Pong's singleplayer game could probably have been entirely forgiven if it had lived up to the promise of a great 4-player party game.
Like the robot-bomber described above, environmental effects are cued by the players (or the AI opponent), either by hitting a trigger on the board with the ball or by using a collected power-up.

 Rickard's electronic projects page - PIC-Pong
In the pong game each line is treated different if there is a ball on it or not.
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 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.

Pong, while not the first videogame, was the first coin-op arcade game and the first mainstream videogame that was available to almost everyone.
One of the regulars approached the Pong game inquisitively and studied the ball bouncing silently around the screen as if in a vacuum.
The rendered 3-D environments are a far cry from the original Pong's simple black-and-white graphics, but at least there's still a ball and two paddles, and that's what Pong's all about.

 Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Pong
Magnavox started to develop a hefty console called the Odyssey 5000, which would've played much more than just tennis, but abandoned the project in favor of a machine in an almost identically-shaped casing, which could play even more games thanks to interchangeable ROM cartridges.
Its makeshift coinbox, fashioned out of a milk carton, had overflowed - and as such, it was no longer registering coin drops and wouldn't allow anyone to start a new game.
The game was transformed into myriad variations, each for a quarter per game, ranging from four-player QuadraPong to a bizarre doghouse-shaped kiddie variation, intended for the waiting rooms of doctors' and dentists' offices, called Puppy Pong.
