And no game gets closer to that status as Arkanoid, which was based on Ping - the first computer game ever created. Is it any wonder that Active Ball, an Arkanoid remake for smartphones, is one of the most popular game for handhelds on the Internet (962,000 links in to arkanoid Google alone!) Do your phone a favor and ask it, "Are you tired of running boring applications? Would you like to take a break and grab a byteful of fun?" If your smartphone says "Yes", it needs some Active Ball. Wait, are you talking to your phone?"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050517-ActiveBall.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />I'm sure the "ping" comment was meant to be "pong". Probably just a spell checker error. ;) Anyway, Arkanoid is one of my favourite classic arcade games. I'm afraid to download this and try it out because I fear I won't be able to stop playing! If any of you install this, be sure to report your thoughts and experiences back to us. You can download a trial version or purchase the full copy for $9.95 <a href="http://www.smartphone.net/smartphonethoughts/software_detail.asp?id=1440">here.</a> [Affiliate]

Or maybe it was a game about a duck trying to get back on time. :lol:

Pong? Pong is table tennis (ping-pong). This is little brick out.
