IF you don’t know what Pong is, I think you are not living on the right planet. Pong is the father of arcade games, originally released by Atari somewhere in 1972. Pong resembles table tennis, but in a more arcade-ish and simpler way. There are numerous versions of Pong, software AND hardware but people seem to like it way too much.

For that reason, another version of Pong is out, but in this case, it’s a special version. named Windows Pong. Yes, it’s a software version and it uses only your browser. Actually, the game’s engine is your browser, due to the fact that the 2 paddles are actually 2 pop-up windows and the ball is, uhm..another pop-up window. While you may need to disable your pop-up blockers, you will find this game highly addictive especially when played at the office.

Be aware that due to its popularity, the website consumes its bandwidth very often and Windows Pong can be unavailable.
