Tanooki Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Benefit of the doubt, because it's Atari, and how that owner of the company treats their own employees, and how much worse they treat who they contract out to to make games they'd have to pay me the $14.99 to play it and even then I'm not certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negative1 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Even more aprils fools - Sandbox 3D voxel game engine? Prepare to see voxel versions of Atari hits such as Asteroids®, Centipede®, Pong®, and RollerCoaster Tycoon® when the 3D voxel world of The Sandbox launches this year. Created by Animoca Brands and its subsidiary TSB Gaming Ltd, the blockchain-based gaming metaverse of The Sandbox will also be home to the first Atari theme park — Atari LAND! This virtual creation will feature Atari-themed attractions, creations, and immersive social gaming experiences. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Well, there does exist a pinball-themed RPG for the NES (Pinball Quest), so a Pong-themed RPG is not too much of a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmadgames Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I went ahead and bought it on Switch. It's actually a pretty decent game. It literally is as expected... It's like an updated version of Pong. There are lots of different balls that you can unlock that have different effects. If you like Pong, you will be happily surprised by this game. If you are not a big Pong fan, this is your worst nightmare. With that being said, I have experienced some odd control issues at times and the online play seems almost totally dead, which is a shame because this game is a blast when playing multiplayer. For the $12 they are asking, I'm satisfied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only played once though, then continued my PES 2020 quest to win the Premiere League. but when that is done, I'll probably be back.

I'm mildly curious about Pong Quest, but not for $12... and I can't believe that a $3 Missile Command would be any good, given the insane prices "Atari" charges for the other stuff they publish.

I can't remember, but I think it might have been a free cellphone game. (or really cheap), There's barely any content, and it only lasts about an hour to two to finish. Its very slick, and challenging when you are completely powered up. You can always replay for highscores. Pong quest could last weeks or months, with all the content. And even then its cheap. later -1 Edited August 12, 2020 by negative1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
