Virtual Pong is a rudimentary two-player Pong clone for the classic Macintosh, written by Toni Laaveri and released through Malcolm Software in 1997. It revives the simple paddle-and-ball duel that started the home video game era, packaged as a small System 7-era application for head-to-head play on a single Mac.
Gameplay
Two players share the keyboard, batting a ball back and forth across the screen and trying to slip it past the opponent's paddle. The rules are deliberately minimal, in the spirit of the 1972 arcade original.
Requirements
Virtual Pong needs System 6 or later, Sound Manager 3, a 256-color display, and roughly 3 MB of RAM. It runs on both 68k and PowerPC Macs and is documented as compatible through System 7.0 to 7.6 and Mac OS 9.
Distribution
The title was distributed as freeware/shareware through hobbyist channels and is preserved on Macintosh Garden alongside other small mid-1990s Mac diversions.
