I begin with apologies if I have posted this in (yikes!) the wrong section.

I wonder if anybody knows the whereabouts of site that was a Pong game you played where the ball was Charle's head. Anyone know what I'm talking about? For all I know, a forum member created that fun little site, which I have not been able to find for a while. Thanks.


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Frank

Yeah, I miss them old-school games myself, but does anybody know the online thing I am talking about, where you could play Pong and the ball you bounced around was Charles' face?

Believe it or not I have a working Pong game. It is still the best video game ever made. Mine is the advanced Pong that is in color and has a doubles game.

Atari rocks!

I also have a pong console! Looks like a washing machine but still works - from about 1977/78 I'd guess.

I was just watching The West Wing on dvd and at one point President Bartlet asks 'Whatever Happened To Pong?' I didn't realise it was a popular expression, or maybe it isn't and Aaron Sorkin's a fan of the Man too?

That's gotta be a Frank Black reference. It's never been a popular expression, to my knowledge, and you wouldn't just happen upon saying it without ever having heard the song.


Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.

No way. It got even better (if that's possible).

My seven season boxset rules the shelves.
