There is something about Pong that I have always enjoyed. Not sure why. Maybe it is the simple play or the fact that Pong started the video game craze. Either way it looks great!

It's one of those simple, yet addicting games.  :)

I guess i should say it looks great and it does but its not about that i suppose, its about the addictive gameplay.

Does the Vectrex not have a pong game anyway?

No, it doesn't really have a Pong title.  The game is being updated as it plays a bit slow on real hardware.
