Rong

Good ol' Pong, not the bad smell you understand - I don't think a smell can be a particular shape, can it? Answers on a postcard. This is Pong the game. Primeval man played this game on the walls of his cave just before discovering fire. Then he got so excited when someone invented the wheel that just plain forgot all about it.

If only he'd thought to combine the two ideas, like what Jeff Wofford did! They could have created Rong. The opposing paddles must travel most of the way around the ring in order to keep the ball inside the shape. For each time your opponent misses you get five and one for hitting the hump - you need fifteen to progress. It is your turn when the ring is your colour and as you progress more competitors are introduced. This is the future!
