Pong demo

A couple of years ago I posted an April Fool's joke on my website about a company releasing "Pong 2000", a 3D accelerated version of the classic two-bats-and-a-ball computer game.

And here we are in 1999, and Hasbro have actually done it. Oh dear. If you want to see it for yourself, you can grab this tiny 3.1Mb demo from GameCenter.

The fools. The mad fools.
