Rob Mitchell Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Are there any games in the Home Pong systems that aren't present in Video Olympics for the 2600? 934452[/snapback] YES! There's a game on one of the Atari PONGs which is called Catch! Instead of moving a paddle up and down you are moving a space up and down in the vertical walls. Object of the game is to catch the ball and score! If the ball bounces off above your space it is deflected up and if it bounces off below your space it is deflected down. For two to four persons. The team players move their spaces along the same vertical walls which can create confusion about which space is your player. Fast and fun! I remember back in 1977 being very disappointed to see that Catch was not an option on the Video Olympics cart (Pong Sports).
