'''''Pong''''' is a 1972 video game, the first one released by [[Atari]]. You control a paddle that goes along one line — in the classic version, up and down. Your opponent has another paddle. You bounce a square ball against the paddle. If your opponent misses, you get a point. If you miss, your opponent gets a point. First to reach 21 wins.
Can be played [[PvP]] or against a computer AI (the original arcade machine however, was [[PvP]] only).
