Pong Game Review


Pong is one of the first video games, this game is similar to tennis game which got two paddles and a ball. The ultimate goal is to defeat the opponent by being the first one to gain 10 points. The game was originally developed by Allan Alcorn and released in 1972 by Atari Corporations.

In Pong game the game mechanic is hitting the ball again and again without missing until winning. If we miss the ball without hitting, it is a point for opponent.

The overall concept of this game is, who gets the 10 point first and he is the winner. It is like playing the tennis the game both the player should hit ball without missing it in their side.

The outcome of the game is winning the game be being the first player to get 10 points and defeating the opponent. Pong game basically is to hit the ball with the paddle on player side and not allowing the ball to pass the paddle. If it pass the paddle the ball is missed and outcome of missing the ball is point for the opponent. 

The designed is easy and does not look complicate. But while playing the game when the ball hit again and again, the speed of returning the ball is fast and that makes the player to move the paddle faster according to the ball. So this interactive method is fun and interesting and that makes the game challenging to player. 

There is no story involved in Pong Game, since its only playing way to hit the ball without missing.
Concept is the most important part because the game with very good concept but simple interactive still will be acceptable by the game players and it is fun. Rather than the game with good interactive but not interesting concept will discourage the players to play the game.
