Hi DJC, Yeah, I tried to slow the response down a bit with the joystick in Pong so as to make it the same as the keyboard. Guess I didn't quite get it. I really like a joystick or game controller. To me it makes the games seem more like a video game rather than a computer game. Guess just b

Hi Dark, I'm sorry, but I don't really know for sure how the video arcade games of Pong played, as I mostly only played Pong on my Atari 2600. I'm pretty sure that the games were always to 21. My Dad did have a video Pong game in his bar. It was a bit different though in that it was in a tab

Hi Tyler, Thanks for saying that you like the new version of Pong. To tell you the truth, other than adding the joystick support, I wasn't planning on changing anything and I doubt that I will do another version. I just wanted to add the joystick support and get it into the kitchensinc folder

Hi Thomas, Yeah, those were the controllers ok. I never played break out or super break out. The recession of the early eighties put me out of work and I couldn't afford to buy games after that for some time. And by then I could no longer see and gave away my Atari 2600 and Atari 800 XL home

Hi Charles, Yeah, I can't wait to play Pong with a Joystick. However I don't believe that is how I played it on my Atari machines. I believe that I bought special controllers. They were little hand held controllers with a spinner wheel and a button on the side They were actually two of thos
