Migraine-inducing miniature arcade games
Retro-gaming blog Re:Retro sent us word of some tiny arcade games weighing in at an outrageous 18x18 pixels square. The miniature version of Pong, featuring paddles that are 3 pixels high and a ball that's a single, solitary pixel, is still (amazingly) playable. Unfortunately, it's also likely to make your head pound after about five minutes.The site also has versions of Pac Man, Asteroids, and Space Invaders... all of which are guaranteed to make your eyes bleed!
Pong clocks; real vs. widget
We missed the news that the swoon-inducing "Pong clock" is actually for sale! At $240, it's a bit more expensive than an Atari Flashback, but oh so worth it!If you just want the Pong time-keeping functionality, but don't care about the aesthetics, you can download the free "pongClock" widget for Apple's Dashboard. The widget uses the score to keep time for you and you have the option to play a match against it. Oh, Pong, where will you be next?
