At the recent German Gaming convention “Leipzig” there was a hall completely devoted to Pong as an Art form. There were many variations of the paddle and ball game from latest Computer games (like Rockstar table tennis) to age old Atari versions, but more interestingly there were physical pongs…PhysicalPong

  • One pong table used magnetic paddles and ball to play the game
  • Another variation used cycle to control the paddle, cycle in one direction move up, cycle in opposite it moves down.
  • One was completely physical using projectors and players ran to control the paddle.
