Quadrapong is a four-player version of PONG by Atari, the last PONG-based game they would sell. It is in a cocktail-table cabinet, with one player on each side controlling one paddle. When all four players are present, only the corners of the screen are walled off. A player is eliminated when he or she misses the ball four times, and the last remaining player is the winner.
The game was ported to the Atari 2600 as part of the Video Olympics game program.
Several years later, the Quadrapong gameplay format was re-made and tweaked into Warlords, which would become one of Atari's most popular games in the arcade and on the Atari 2600.
