==History==
During development of the console Dawn, Mike Saisburn wanted to create a smaller game than the likes of the AAA title Twinbell was working on. In 2003, he began development on a Pong-style game. The game eventually lead to Pong Extreme. The game was one of five games shown to be played at kiosks at E3 2005.
