PongWars ReviewCute, but dumb - Version: 2.0, 8/4/2003 03:08PM PST

Mac Num
This is a cute, but utterly dumb game. It's an interesting tweak on Pong, but all in all, it is still just Pong. I remember a game 5 - 10 years back, Mortal Pongbat it was called, now that ROCKED! I only wish a OSX native version was available of that. But I digress...
2 stars for being Pong with different sound effects, + 1 for being freeware.

PongWars ReviewVery Good, This Is... - Version: 2.0, 8/4/2003 12:40PM PST

Overall, this game actually has a really good feel to it in action, and is one of the best implementations of Pong on Mac since Bungie's Gnop!. It does actually have kind of a cool, dual retro thing goin' for it, like a Pong version of Luke's training in the first Star Wars.

The graphics might use a little improvement, especially with the splash screens. There's also all kind of cool features of Quartz/OpenGL that might be worth looking into for the actual game itself.

Anyway, download it now before George Lucas sues!

PongWars CommentaryGeeks are an integral group in the IT community, however, as I'm not one, I wouldn't really know - Version: 2.0, 8/4/2003 12:16PM PST

I just downloaded this out of curiosity superfast and played it. Just like I did when I was a kid hanging out at our local hamburger joint. And just like then, I enjoyed for what it was-a good game. So far, this has been a lot of fun, and as I am not qualified to review, that's just a comment on a colorful, exciting, fast 70's game. The music is relly cool and my 8 year-old likes it stacks, too. 4 stars?
