Dragonstomper, yeah, Pong's instructions are truly a bit of poetry.

(For joustpong I grew it to "Press Button to Flap. Avoid Missing Ball for High Score."-- less poetic, but I am proud that my controller scheme is much simpler than Pong's complex potentiometer)

Its intereting how both the klingons instruction and Pong's do invite the user to play and explore with the controls in order to work out how to interact with the system.

Weird though, the bio seems to be sure it was an Atari-made game, or else the story around it doesn't make as much sense. I'd be more likely that details like "Star Trek" and "Klingons" were wrong, but I dunno.

This game is pretty grand! A good maturation of the "original". (Well the 2017 version.)

A few of us have decided to get together this coming Friday, March 11th, at 6:30pm at my house in Middletown, CT. If anyone else wants to join in send me a PM and I'll provide more details. Those who are coming please post so I can be sure to order enough pizza for everyone!

Lots of systems to be set up and available to play, plus a couple arcade machines. Dress warm, my basement has no heat. Posted Image
Dang! It's PAX weekend!
