Pong was released by Atari in 1972 and became the first commercially successful video game — a simple table-tennis simulation that kicked off the entire arcade era. This version keeps the spirit (two paddles, one ball, infinite rivalry) with modern extras: AI opponents, touch controls and a winning-streak tracker.
Move your paddle up and down to keep the ball in play. Score by getting the ball past your opponent's paddle — first to 7 points wins the match.
Yes! Switch to 2 Players mode: Player 1 uses W/S and Player 2 uses the arrow keys on the same keyboard.
Yes. On phones and tablets, drag on your side of the screen to move your paddle. Rotate your device to landscape for the best view.
Where the ball hits your paddle decides the angle: hits near the edge send it off at sharp angles, hits near the centre send it straight back. Use edge hits to wrong-foot the AI.
Easy (slow, clumsy), Medium (decent) and Hard (fast, almost perfect). The ball also speeds up after every paddle hit, so rallies get tense quickly on all levels.
Yes — completely free, no download and no sign-up. Your best winning streak against the computer is saved on your device.
