wombombs Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I would like to know if theres any of the very old Pong Machines r emulated because i missed out on Pong in my life because my Gaming life began with a RCA Studio 2, then Atari 2600, Atari 800, C64, Amiga, etc... I heard some had about 4 built in Pong Games. the Only I have played was a small pong console and i remember it had 4 games. Like squash, tennis, cant remember the other 2 ! Any Emulation around of these old playable stuff! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I don't think they can be emulated, only simulated, similar to Computer Space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariDude Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I don't think you can get a perfect emulation because they did not use ROM chips like today's arcade games did. They were basically chips put together to create the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I don't think you can get a perfect emulation because they did not use ROM chips like today's arcade games did. They were basically chips put together to create the machine. The early pongs were transistors put together to make the machine. The later pongs were based in the GI chip that had 6(?) games. They were like McPongs. The best you can do is play 2600 Video Olympics (Pong Sports). Or play an old pong with a friend. No point in emulation .. as pong is pong. Actually there is a pong site where you can play with a mouse. And I am looking forward to the Radial Pong game.

wombombs Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 I know... Emulation of a Pong Machine on a PC would not feel right as the real thing. Pong is just pong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
