PS: the flashing at the end gave me a shock, it was quite funny :P

Wow. Well done :P

I had great fun playing that. I would love to make something like that. Then I looked at the source and saw how long I have to go :D

Awesome. I really missed the sound effects. Pong never feels right without those classic sounds, but the game was very nice.

i'm sure a decent controller like the atari 2600 controller would add to the charm too! (I haven't actually used an Atari before, but I would imagine it would be incredibly fun to use that joystick!)

Yes I bet it would. Speaking of the devil, I kinda feel like playing pong on atari... I think we have pong here somewhere *Goes and looks through the 40+ atari games in his room*

That reminds me: A few weeks ago we had a "game day" in computer science class where everyone that wants to brings in their game system of choice and we all play video games for the 1 1/2 hour class. The only consoles I have are PS2 and Atari, and my friend was borrowing my PS2 at the time.

You guessed it! I brought the Atari along with a few of my favorite games: Breakout, Maze Craze, Bowling, Space Invaders. Everyone in my class was like "WTF is that thing?!". I love the controllers you use for breakout:

My teacher was rather amused.

Your classmates are dumb, all my friends know what an atari is... possibly cause all our parents had one when they were kids...
