    Here's a game for all you old school gamers like me ;)

    I've had this on my mac for a while thinking it was a mac only game...It ran very nice but I wanted to see if I could run it on my PC, so I searched and it's available.

    PlasmaPong is a GREAT twist on the original pong, just give it a shot. I shall warn you though, if you have a slower computer, you might not get much in the way of FPS.

    With my Macbook I get about 42fps on default settings and 18fps with the particle number maxed.

    On my Desktop I get 62fps on default and 32fps with the particle number maxed.



    UNfortunately the original site is down, though they leave no reason. Enjoy

    I was 9 or 10 when it came out as an arcade game by Atari. I remember playing it every time we went to Pizza Hut



    BTW, I suggest no one play this game while under the influence

    I may not be old, but I've played tons of old school games. Heck, we had an atari for the longest time. I'm not all about the newest and the greatest all the time.

    Ive had an atari longer than you have been alive (I got one around 1984).

    Since I have started drinking, I guess I will have to finish off my mini bar and try the game....

    which reminds me. Linder needs to fill in her profile and admit that she is 10 years older than me.


    Now that F1 is no longer hanging out here, who is the oldest goat?
