Well, I'm close enough! ;)<br><br>Dr. Phat, I'm sure that there must be a quadrillion and one pong games available for all the emulators out there. Is that the opportunity for a plug I see before me...?<br><br>PocketGamer.org emulator listing:<br>http://www.pocketpcgames.net/emulation

None of the emulators work?! What PPC do you have? Are you sure you allocated enough free program memory (at least 8-10 MB)?

Yeah, well, with the Palm emulator being released soon, you may not have any reason to bring 2 PDAs with you. (not like Palm Pilots are useful for anything, anyways...;))
Die, Palm, Die. If that offended you, then get rid of your Palm OS device.

I'm sure if Mike or I wanted, we could compile a list of every single pong game that works in pocketdos or xtce or atari2600 emu; but we dont want to do all of that work, just for your silly pong obsession.

I know this is a little late, but I am begining development on PocketPong.<br><br>Features to be included<br>2d/3d mode (to get an idea of 3d mode visit http://www.liquid.se/pong.html)<br><br>Learning opponent (using a neural network you will be able to teach the player from barely able to hit the ball to thrash the pants off you every time) It will come with pretaught opponents of varying difficulty.<br><br>Possible thought for future versions <br>Multiplayer (should be first update).<br><br>More than 2 players , complex shaped arenas e.g star shaped for 4 players with a rotating paddle in the middle to redirect ball.<br><br><br>
