Press Fire PONG for Commodore AMIGA 500 isn’t just another Pong clone, it’s a reimagined arcade experience with unique gameplay mechanics and dynamic visual effects. Programmed by Alberto Sgaggero on the legendary Amiga using AMOS BASIC, this version delivers old-school vibes with a modern edge.

Originally born as a VIC-20 project, Press Fire PONG was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ATARI Pong, in collaboration with the Facebook community Retro Programmers Inside. The VIC-20 version is still available here: Press Fire PONG for VIC-20.


How to play
Unlike traditional Pong, in this version, you must move the paddle up or down in a different way:

  • Hold FIRE → paddle moves up
  • Release FIRE → paddle moves down

This minimal control scheme makes every match intense.
The “cabinet” screen isn’t stable, it will wobble, flash, and tilt as the action heats up.
Expect surprises:

  • When the ball bounces on gray borders the ball suddenly inverts its course
  • When the ball bounces on dark gray borders the ball vanishes through one side and reappears on the opposite side, just like Pac-Man

You can challenge the AMIGA, battle a friend, or push yourself in solo endurance mode. Every match feels different, unpredictable, and challenging.

Nice game, easy at first but gets harder. Really fun as a two player game. I've also added it to my new video along with other recently released games. Hope you like it.

Hi! Thank you very much for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the game and had fun, especially since I'm pleased that you tried the two-player mode (playing 1v1 with my friends is one of my fondest memories from my Amiga experience). I really appreciate that you included it in your video! And by the way, congratulations as always on your videos and your channel.

Nice game!
