THis is Werid but i just realized there is nothing here about pong!
HAs anyone ever done or attempted a portable pong????

[Aguiluz]

Ben has made an Atari 2600 Portable that can play Pong. Does that count?

[themadhacker]

you mean a pong machine? It really wouldn't be worth it to make a pong machineP.

Pong on a chip was the first 'OAC, most Pong consoles released after the Atari one are just a single chip and some switches. Should be dead simple to make one, if you so desire.

I've got Pong on my mp3 player. That's about as portable as you're gonna get.

Oh come on, Pong?

[RockNRoll!]

I think all caps is an excellent way to type, eh‽

Yeah, and I've got a Sega Genesis emulator on my PSP. Doesn't stop people from portabilizing, does it?

I'd like to see a portable "Pong" console, personally, even if only for the "whaaaaat?" factor.

And when was the last time we saw a genny portable? Just kidding, great point though.

fair enough. Although with the genesis, I'd argue the Nomad pretty much does away with the market for portablizing of genesis.

Wasn't pong like originally really freakin' huge? I think that Ben's 2600p works fine...

[palmertech]

Well, come on guys! We need a new forum section, quick!

Along with a fliptop NES forum!

The original arcade had large and complicated circuit boards, however the home versions are based off single chip Pong circuits. The home consoles are only as large as they are to make them easier to play and to make them seem better (bigger = better was the thought at the time).
