Please Mr.Canon - BRING BACK THE PONG!

I wonder what that would be like Pac-PONG he has to hit the thing he is trying to eat?

Same layout as Pac-Man but slightly larger, you have two PONG paddles running along the walls of the level, and Pac-Man is the PONG ball. You have to PONG Pac-Man to make him move through the maze, eat things, and evade (or eat) ghosts.

so you have to work together with the opposition whilst trying to beat him?? sounds like a tough game!!

Yes, in multiplayer, you can cooperate (each controls one paddle), or play against (one player controls both PONG paddles to navigate Pac-Man, the other controls the ghosts to try to eliminate Pac-Man). But in addition to Cooperative mode and Versus mode, there is the very difficult Cooperative Versus mode. In this mode, the game randomly switches between Cooperative mode and Versus mode, and also randomly assigns roles to the players. So you might start the game playing with your teammate trying to get Pac-Man to eat everything in the maze, then suddenly the game switches to Versus and you get control of the ghosts and try to beat the other player by eating Pac-Man. But he manages to eat all the ghosts instead, and the game switches mode again. Now you're back to working together, but you decide to take revenge and run the paddle to get Pac-Man killed. And so on. Needless to say, very few get past Level 1 in Cooperative Versus mode.

Just in case some developers out there are in need of ideas... and Canon, I hope they're listening!

Lol, KC, you're not letting this thread go down, huh! Is it because you know you can't win in C vs N, but you're the leader in this one?

Anyway, since Canon seems to be putting a lot of bells and whistles in the lower models these days, I don't why not put some games while they're at it. How about instead of a pong "ball", it's a Nikon camera getting paddled around?

We can't let this thread die - we need Canon to take this up as a matter of urgency!!!

And I need an upgrade for my 50D which contains either Pong or Space Invaders!

I believe the 50D contains space invaders. The 7D comes with Pong. I think the 1Dm4 will have PacMan and Tetris.

Oh man, I don't want to have to choose! I want all four games! Wait, what about the 60D?

or maybe i need to d/l a new firmware

I think they included it as an "easter egg". Which mean you have to basically stumble upon the right sequence of settings to activate it.....so I've heard.
