Summary
At a time when the Playstation is the world's most successful gaming platform and simultaneously being devalued by the release of the Dreamcast and impending PlayStation NG, the game that started it all appears on the platform.
Hasbro have decided to leverage their Atari licences by releasing updated versions of the classics on PSX. Whether that's a good idea or not, you'll have to make up your own mind. A full price release for Pong, even if it is full colour, multiplayer 3D Pong, still seems a bit much. But it's a classic game, that ate a gazillion quarters all those years ago, and it's sure to give a new generation of gamers hours of fun this time around.
