Must try... Plasma Pong :)
on: August 17, 2007, 11:55:17 am
I Stumbled Across this... careful, it's very fun, IMHO!

http://www.plasmapong.com/

For Windows XP/Vista or Mac

Singleplayer:

Left-click = blower
Right-click = vacuum
Mouse U/D = your pong paddle up/down

This supposedly has multi... but the AI is pretty good.  And, the soundtrack rocks!

EDIT: It does have multi, but not over the Internet... :(

Multiplayer:

Player 1 controls:
D = blower
A = vacuum
W/S = paddle up/down

Player 2 controls:
Cursor <- = blower
Cursor -> = vacuum
Cursor U/D = paddle up/down

NOTE: When you use the vacuum, if you capture the pong ball, and then release the vacuum, it sort of 'explodes' and launches the ball very nicely.  ;)

I've already played it. It's not too fun. All you do is hold down the mouse button and blow the ball at the opponent. They won't be able to deflect it.
Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Eh?  What version did you play?  Latest is 1.3c, and the AI is pretty good.  *shrugs*  Try it again for me?  It's easy for the first 5-10 levels perhaps.

I'd play it... if they ported it to linux.

Playing in WINE = hell

Hmm, well, it's been ported to Mac OS X, so Linux shouldn't be too far behind...

That doesn't mean anything.  Porting from linux to OSX is fairly easy.  Not so easy the other way around.
Bunny stole my signature :(.

Sorry boobies.
