That's not Pong
that doesn't even work as a replacement for kino, it would be spiel or spielen

This is just Link to the Past 3D. Like, this game didn't do anything new or innovative, it didn't have amazing graphics, good plot, it just had solid gameplay and is extreme nostalgia bait.
Pic related, it pretty much codified 90% of shooter genre in fucking 1962. It invented the shooter genre understood as controlling a moving character, competitive multiplayer, physics system, advanced movement techniques (you can use gravity well to pull some tricks), shootemup and shooter genre as a whole, laid foundation for 'spaceship shooter' theme that is still popular to this day, and was arguably first hard-sci fi game ever made (since it was trying to simulate realistic space combat, more or less).
Also, you can actually play it on Steam in multiplayer, except it's installation is a secret - in "input product code" thing, put in
steam://install/480
And you get Spacewar.
