Make-It-Yourself projects
Popular Electronics, april 1976

This issue contains two interesting analog projects.

The first one, called PONGTRONICS, plays three games: Handball, PONG and Gravity PONG. If the two first games are not very interesting, the last has some nearly unique features: playing PONG with gravity, which gives the impression of playing a Tennis game with a profile view. Another interesting feature is the way of playing: none of the games can be played by two people (unless the electronic circuits are mofidied to allow it). They are either played by one person against the machine, or just by the machine against itself.

The second game, called SPACE-WAR, is a PONG transformed into a shooting game. Both players are there and must shoot the ball on the other one. Yet another uncommon PONG variant which shows how a basic PONG game could be modified to be turned into a different game.
