Each player starts with 4 points, and loses one point each time the ball penetrates their goal. If all 4 points are lost the player's paddle is removed and the goal "closes", creating a solid wall and removing the player from the game. The game continues until only one player is left. ==Clones== The simultaneously released Atari version, '''''Quadrapong''''', has a white cocktail cabinet that measured 35" x 24.25".<ref name="klov"/> ==Legacy== * The game was ported to the [[Atari 2600]] as part of the ''[[Video Olympics]]'' game program. * In 1980, the gameplay format was expanded into the Atari arcade game ''[[Warlords (arcade game)|Warlords]]'', which was also ported to Atari's home consoles and computers. ==References== <references /> ==External links== * ''[http://everything2.net/index.pl?node_id=1344343 Quadrapong]'' on [[Everything2]] * [http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=756&page=1#440 Pong variants page] on System 16, The Arcade Museum {{paddle-videogame-stub}}
