About PING 2000

PING was the first video game ever, when it was launched for mass 
market by Atari. Since then many video games have come and gone 
of which we have seen revivals as computer improved technically. 
But there has been no revival of PING until now!
     As the world leaps to the next generation of gameplay 
Holland Game Design produced a ping clone with improved graphics 
and sound. PING 2000 will take you on a journey through time, and  
show you Ping has been a basic element of existence. We'll take 
you through six sectors and let you play those essential first 
moves in life. Through the first five sectors you have to pass 
twenty tests of increasingly more difficult Ping reaction moves.
     The first stage will be PING 20.000.000 B.C.: the birth of 
the universe in which massive energy fields collide with 
giantic asteroids filled with rare elements. Huge gas clouds 
travel the vast amount of space. Here in deep space at the 
begining of time, you'll encouter your first Ping 20.000.000.000 
B.C. action.
      The second stage takes you to the time our little planet was
being terra-formed. In this huge bassin of living organisms 
at lot of bouncing up and down was happening. Still uncertain in 
their ways little organismes began to spring and made their first 
important moves: Ping 2.000.000 B.C. moves. But watch out for 
those pieces of dead wood falling. 
     At the third stage time has progressed a little further. The 
first humanoids have taken over the earth. With big bats they 
start bashing every skull they meat. But hey, they are not alone 
on this planet. They we're forced to play Ping 200.000 B.C. even 
before your granny was born. Play it cool with the first ivory 
ball, while other tribes try to distract you thier wooden balls.
     The fourth stage is one of the intellectual fundamentals of 
our civilisation. The basis of the original Ping was being laid, 
when the first two humans started playing tennis. Ping 1500 was a 
reality. Take your primitive bats and those balls to the other 
side, but donşt let the loosy ball boyşs ball confuse you.
     The fifth state is the wonderful world of Ping as we knew it 
in the seventies. Finally after all these years Ping has been 
computerized. Get into the computer and start playing those bits, 
but donşt get fooled by an occasional bug flying around.
     The sixth and last stage consists of one giant stage in 
which a terrible space war is being fought with great machines 
dumping electerical discharges at each other. Battle is fought 
throwing planets at each other. Can you stand the ultimate test?
     With an ever expanding universe, each stage grows bigger and 
bigger, the tests get harder and harder. Do you dare to try?
