Play Pong - The Next Level (usa, Europe) Online

Pong: The Next Level came out for the Game Boy Color in 1999, published by Hasbro Interactive. It arrived at a time when developers were experimenting with new twists on classic arcade formulas for handhelds, and this was their attempt to push the simple Pong concept into something more complex.

You control a paddle, moving it vertically to deflect a ball past your opponent's paddle to score. The main objective is to win each match, but the game introduces several new mechanics. You can collect power-ups that change the ball's behavior, like making it split into multiple balls or curve unpredictably. Some stages feature obstacles and bumpers on the playing field that alter the ball's trajectory, forcing you to adjust your strategy. The pacing is generally quick, and the difficulty ramps up as you face more aggressive AI opponents and navigate trickier arenas. It feels like a familiar game that constantly asks you to react to new, chaotic variables.
