Pong on the XO - An OLPC Easter Egg
The OLPC’s XO shipped with a few Easter Eggs, turns out one of them is Pong, playable in the game / ebook reader configuration!
As you can see in the short video, you use the directional pad and the game pad to control the “players”. You hit the rotate screen orientation button to start a new game. When you’re done playing, open up the screen a little and hit the Escape key (top left with the X on it). No sound though, I miss that. I think some linux modding may be in order?
Pong on the XO, talk about old school video games! Now you just need my Pong t-shirt 
For those who like to find Easter Eggs on their own, stop reading at this point.
For all others here’s how you get Pong to play:
Start with your XO off. Hit the power button and hold down the directional rocker pad to the right while booting up the XO. Release that button when it says to on your screen and you’ll see the Pong screen.

The video on this page does not play — advertisements come up in the window.

That probably means you’ve seen it before. The ads only show up in the end. There should be a Replay button with a triangle on it below the black screen though?
