Pong Kombat is a fan-made parody video game produced by Stefan Gagne for a high school computer class assignment in 1994. The game combines the traditional gameplay of the arcade classic Pong with the over-the-top violence and gameplay of Mortal Kombat. The game was originally released via the Internet/BBS and gathered a following throughout the mid-1990s, spawning several official and unofficial sequels.
The entire project was completed in four weeks and was originally distributed in early 1995. Within several weeks thousands of people had played it. The original release came with a text document that instructed the users they could get one of three hint guides by contacting Gagne via e-mail or via his postal address. The number of requests for the guides over a relatively short amount of time reached several thousands, rendering the e-mail address useless (which is atypical for a time before e-mail was popularized), coupled with the amount of traditional mail received.
