10. Bong
ORIGINAL: Pong was based on a game called "Tennis for Two" which simulates playing tennis on an oscilloscope. Physicist William Higginbotham goes down in history as creating one of the first electronic games to use graphical displays.
Concept: The game aims to represent the game of tennis or table tennis (ping pong). Each player has a bat. The bat can be moved vertically. There are two horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the screen. The ball is served and passed to a player - that player must move the paddle to hit the ball. The ball bounces in the opposite direction. Depending on where the ball hits the bat, the ball will move in different directions - if it hits one of the top or bottom lines, it will bounce. The idea is to make the other player lose the ball - thus scoring a point.
