Of course it's a pong. Not in a tennis or ping-pong game you can let the ball bounce back from the sides... We made a game in Second Life which was basically a pong, but if the ball fly out on the sides, it's out. So you could aim the ball by hitting with the right spot. THAT was more like tennis.
Ah, just like tennis used to be. I remember seeing Wimbledon back in '76, just two lines duking it out with a square ball. Tennis today is just not the same.
THANK GOD. This is the first peice of media of any type I've found of the volley X. picked one up off ebay in the box wit hall the extras for $20 a year ago but couldnt find anything on it.
I picked up one of these Pong clone consoles once but the transformer was missing so I,ve never gotten it to work! its really hard to find consoles from this era! even in the nineties it was virtually impossible
its absolutely awesome and unique and theres even a lot of awesome after-market fan-made games out there like a Defender-clone! as for the super color, you can just get any pong-console, theyre all unique in their own way. the one i have is very tiny and and comes in a red leather case which is ultra-sweet
The best Pong-like game I've ever played is Paddlewar, which is ironically played with the arrow keys of your PC. It's single player only, sadly, but the AI is very good at least...
The best Pon-like game I've ever written was called "Not Another Pong Game". I don't think I ever finished writing it fully, but it was perfectly playable and the AI was awesome!
Wasn't this already reviewed during the Super Color Volley X review? I don't unterstand why Mark thinks this game needs its own seperate review if Mark already touched on it in his Super Color Volley X review.
@djklink20009 However, who is the Queen of Classic Gaming? Who is the Prime Minister of Classic Gaming? Who is the Emperor of Classic Gaming (presumably someone Japanese)? Who is the finance minister of Classic gaming? Who is the guy who appears on a crummy, overrated car-themed show on the government-started TV channel, of classic gaming? I need to know NOW.
This thing is so damn obscure, I searched "Roberts Super Color Volley X" and the first image that came up was the Classic Game Room avatar on this YouTube page.
20 years from now, people will look at games like Doom and Call of Duty and say "What's the difference" in the same way Mark looks at Pong and Tennis today
u need to get atari greatest hits volume 2 for ds. its a pretty sweet collection of games. $20 for 50 awesome games plus interviews with nolan bushnell and atari 400 emulator which i havent yet figured out how to use
Instead of giving this comment a thumbs up, do the thumbs up gesture towards your computer screen. The same applies with liking the video. It gives a more personal satisfaction.
@Zhangoose More like Tennis > Black Ops. The original COD games are great but Black Ops was a huge disappoint. Too generic. You might as well call it Halo 4.
@TheFloodFourm it's mostly because of how fucking overrated Call of Duty is now a days, I mean, it's fucking everywhere and it gets annoying, also, because of the "Hardcore gamer flagship" thing it has
as for me, it's because of how the modern Call of Duty games ruined the glory of the original ones, and how it became the the cash whore of Activision and fucking every damn kid (and yes, personal experience with kids online)
@TheFloodFourm So having zombies automatically makes a game good? Hell then I guess Postal 2 and Land of the Dead Road to Fiddlers Green are some of the best games ever made!
