Overview
Emeritus Pong is a clone of the good old "Pong" game. It tries to be relatively close to the original, therefore no fancy graphic or astonishing sound effects there. Emeritus Pong is written to be able to run on any modern PC. There are three versions available: DOS, Windows and Linux.

Graphic
Emeritus Pong may run in any usual resolution, between 320x240 to 1280x1024, fullscreen or windowed. If you would like to use any other video mode (not available from the game's setup), you can edit the empong.cfg manually.

Sound
The sound is very simple. Windows and Linux versions require a sound card for sound, and DOS version simply uses the internal PC Speaker.

Hardware requirements
The game is programmed to run flawlessly on any modern PC, but it will run on older architectures too. A 90 MHz CPU and 2 Mb of RAM should be enough. The video card doesn't matter, as far as it supports at least the VGA 320x240 graphic mode.

Some history...
Pong is a video game released originally as a coin-operated arcade game by Atari Inc. on November 29, 1972. Pong is based on the sport of table tennis (or "ping pong"), and named after the sound generated by the circuitry when the ball is hit. Pong was the first video game to achieve widespread popularity in both arcade and home console versions, and launched the initial boom in the video game industry.
