My test of Ping Power by FalcoWare:
You can chose the destination in the installations dialogue. Installed fine with a size of 183MB.
The the program PingPower.exe itself is only 65,6MB but there is another file 20M.txt occupying 113MB, not 20MB like the name might suggest. I hoped for an instruction manual, but unfurtunately I had not been able to open it. After a first test of the game I removed it and the game still runs fine.
Program starts in windowed mode and shows in the program info Ping Power (Debug).
It is a remake of one of the very first computer games from 1972 called Pong. You have two lines (the players) and and a point (the ball) and have to push back the ball from the left side off the screen to the opponent on the right side of the screen. In the original versions the steering had been done with a joystick or a paddle. In this version for control you can use the cursor-keys only.
Game starts windowed and stays in this fixed size even when you maximize the window.
The playing field is shown in white on black. It is a very accurate simulation of the original and though it is a very complex game there is no visible stuttering and gameplay is very smooth without too much flickering of the ball. Even the counters count correctly. The only missing thing is the lack information how to restart a game or how to close the program. You can manually override this by closing the window. Gameplay had been so thrilling that I finally forgot to close the window.

Hmmm....the pictures make it seem like this will be an interesting game however, the truth is that it's just the black and white classic Pong game. Just a white line going up and down while you try to keep the ball from getting past you. You don't use your mouse, you use your up and down arrow keys. I sure don't see how this could be a $5 game.

L. Ess, My guess would be no, though I haven't downloaded the game and there don't seem to be any actual screenshots online. From the game description, it sounds like it's the classic arcade Pong game. Also, the download file is only about 112MB, which is consistent with my theory. :)

Cad Delworth, the original Pong surely came with less than 122kB.
