Scott Lininger has produced a very playable version of pong including multiplayer:

My brain needed an afternoon break from my compo work, so I decided to pull this
old project off the shelf and clean it up for public consumption.
It's a pretty little Pong clone that you can play vs. the computer OR via linkcable.
The source code is available on my website at http://www.thingker.com - it
demonstrates both sending a multiboot over link cable and exchanging data between the clients.

ThingPONG can be downloaded from the main site!

Another fine game from Scott, well done. And thanks for sharing your source code. :)

One thing though, why didn't you submit that to the compo?

I was too busy with StarFortress.

Besides, who wants to play Pong?
