Two Classics, One Game: Tetripong
September 4, 2009
As part of his insane goal to produce a game a week for the next year, British coder Jayenkai produced this fusion of Tetris and Pong, Tetripong, which has you trying to clear lines of blocks as you would in a traditional Tetris game, except with the bouncing Pong balls threatening to knock out essential blocks from your game.
To add even more anxiety, there's a mechanic that slowly fills your screen with water, only draining when you clear a line in the game.
You can download Tetripong for free from our Pong software section
Transformation: The PONG Table by Moritz Waldemeyer
August 10, 2009
The more Pong the better. Designed by Moritz Waldemeyer, this Corian table has been embedded with 2,400 LED lights along with a couple of trackpads, giving PONG a modern update.
The savvy designer incorporated a series of "LEDs and touchpad sensors" into the otherwise plainly-styled piece of furniture in order to provide a fresh rendition of a heralded classic.
The table was diplayed at MoMA in 2008.

Resurrecting Tennis for Two
March 24, 2009
In the year 1958 a physicist named William Higinbotham demonstrated a remarkable game called Tennis for Two.
Higinbotham, head of the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory, designed his game as an exhibit to improve what was an otherwise lackluster visitors' day at the lab. Tennis for Two presented a tennis court - shown from the side - on an oscilloscope screen, where handheld controllers allowed the two players to toss the ball to each other. Each controller had two controls: a button and a knob. With the button, you could hit the ball at any time of your choosing when it was on your side of the net, and with the knob you could choose the angle at which the ball was hit.
The game was based on the best contemporary technology: analog electronic computers built out of op-amps, relays, and the occasional transistor. Of course, some things have changed over the last 50 years. Using convenient modern electronics, the guys at evilmadscientist.com have designed a functional and playable replica of the original that can be put together by a hobbyist in a couple of evenings. You can watch the video of the recreation on YouTube.
