Pong: The Next Level is a modernized iteration of the classic arcade game Pong, released for the Sony PlayStation 1. It maintains the original's simple gameplay concept of table tennis but expands it with new levels, 3D graphics, and interactive environments. Players control paddles to hit a ball back and forth, aiming to outscore opponents. With a variety of power-ups and obstacles, the game adds depth to the iconic paddle-and-ball mechanics. The Next Level features multiple game modes, including a single-player adventure and multiplayer options, fitting into the action and arcade genres.
