Do you love playing Pong? how about Break Out? Hate deciding between the two? Why not play both at the same time! [PongOut!](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/pongout) Please don’t hurt me. ---

[QUOTE=CoG888] Please don’t hurt me. [/QUOTE] Well that’s a ludicrous game, so I may hit you ‘upside’ your head with a baseball bat, while simultaneously uppercutting your chin with a cricket bat… if I can manage it… ---

Aarrgh! That game is frickin insane! Nice music, though. ---

Insane. Yes. Exactly the word I was going to use. Curiously addictive, though. ---

I can’t see the ball, for some reason. ---

That’s almost as bad as psychopong (found near the bottom of the list [here](http://www.ertdfgcvb.ch/)) ---

I still like arcadia: [http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/arcadia.jsp#NONE](http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/arcadia.jsp#NONE) 4 minigames at once (on easy in the demo at least). My highscore so far is Level 12 Elite - 370,463,175,720 points ---

> [@](#): > > My highscore so far is > Level 12 Elite - 370,463,175,720 points Level 14: Wizard in Training - 282,149,927,858,304 so far, and no signs of getting a game over anytime soon. I had to pause it to post this (and allow myself to blink…). I finally figured out how to get a guaranteed win out of the damn connect-3 game, I have 99 lives in pong, and the racing and running games are easy enough. If this doesn’t get crazy hard sometime soon, I could be at this all night. In short: damn you. ---

That’s it. I quit. I’m going to have an aneurysm if I keep this up. I stopped after I hit 5 quadrillion (which is _still_ only Level 14: Wizard in Training! Argh!). Final score: 5,075,748,594,472,050 17 lives in the racing game 28 lives in Connect-3 79 lives in the running game 99 lives in pong EDIT: (looks at the timestamps of my posts) _Holy crap!_ Did I really play that for another HOUR? I probably logged two and a half on that thing. GAAH! I’m never clicking on that link again!
