With Almost A Pong, developer Joesg has once again delivered an indulging piece of MSX entertainment. True to his style, it promises original and unique game-play. While Pong may be a classic, this fresh twist ensures you won’t tire of it anytime soon.
Remember the Atari 2600, a true classic and iconic piece of digital home entertainment. It’s often considered the godfather of personal computer gaming. Along with this legendary console came timeless games, including the iconic Pong. With just two paddles, you could engage in an on-screen tennis-like battle. The game is such a classic that it has become a genre of its own.
Retro gaming author Joesg took the game (or genre) and gave it his own unique spin. Twisted? Absolutely. What more can be said about this seemingly simple and basic game beyond the obvious: don’t drop the ball. Pong your way to five points and save the princess—if there even are princesses in this game. Who knows?
Insert the ROM and use the keyboard to play. A short manual is included in the package.
