The video game industry has seen its fair share of bizarre concepts. After all, the concept of a kart racing game starring Mario probably sounded quite odd back in 1992! Of course, that seems a lot less crazy now, and Mario Kart has become a major franchise for Nintendo, since. Pong is the latest major video game to see a similar genre swap, in the form of Pong Quest, an upcoming RPG from Atari. The publisher’s announcement of the new game was mostly well met, with a number of gamers expressing a bit of bewilderment about the game’s existence. Still, it seems that the game has people talking, and that might translate into interest when Pong Quest releases sometime this spring!

Pong Quest might be proof that the industry is actually in a pretty creative place!
When the industry is so out of ideas that they literally reboot PONG.โ Bain (@RW_BAIN) March 31, 2020
It’s the only explanation for that White Stripes song being stuck in my head, right now.
