Proposal
Pong, originally released in 1972 – an instant success in the arcades with its addictive, competitive and simple game play. Pong pitted two players against each other in a simple 2D game of tennis. Each player had their own bat and the ball would bounce between each side and too and from the sides of the playing field. This inclusion of physics was almost never seen before and added to the games fun and success.
70s nostalgia coming at yah!
It is my hope to take this game mechanic from its dated 2D shell and move it into 3D for Apples iPhone. The games control, in previous remakes of this title, was often its limiting factor due to the hardware it was produced for, players would struggle to accurately move their bat across the screen to their desired position. The iPhone however gives us this new form of control with its touch screen and motion sensitive controls.
