Let’s Pong 1KB Contest

This contest was organized in 2005 by the Karoshi Boards. The goal was to create a variant of the famous Pong game under the form of a small binary file (BIN) limited to 1 Kb. No winner or prize in this contest, as it was pure form of fun for the coders to revive on their way a very classical game !

6 games were submitted and 1 alternative version for one of these games as bonus ! Another of these games comes actually with 3 alternative versions. Most of the games include the sources.

The ROM versions have been generated by creating an auto-executable DSK version and using the DSK2ROM tool of Vincent van Dam (joyrex).
