If you’re around my age (21 years old) or younger, than you’ll more or less enjoy this Flash game called PongOut. The game has two screens: one for Pong and the other for Breakout. The objective of the game is to play both games – at the same time.

Back in the 70′s, Pong was a fairly fun game even though it seems as a ridiculously slow-paced game now. With so much stimulus around us we just can’t use enough of our brains.

PongOut makes an excellent comparison of how attention-deficit the younger generations are compared to the older generations. And what makes this game fun is that it challenges players to focus on two relatively complicated things at once, each of which has it’s own gameplay.

Now, if only there was a third screen…
