okay so bestie, welcome to the efp page, aka Escape from Pong NES game. this is from the Games Manual, and it's about to be your new obsession. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

efp — Escape from Pong NES game 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nes [options] /usr/share/nes/efp.nes | /usr/share/nes/efpbw.nes

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this manual page documents briefly the game Escape from Pong. quick lil disclaimer tho: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. so yeah, we made one. you're welcome 💅

now the actual tea: efp is a game of pong for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)… with a twist. in this version you control the ball, and your objective is to escape the board safely. no cap. you will need to:

• fake out the paddle 🏓
• fight against gravity 🪐
• avoid the (red) wall of death 💀

survive all that and you're the main character, periodt.

the two ROMs, efp and efpbw, differ only in the direction of the thrust when using the arrow keys. that's it, that's the whole diff. it's so you can use whichever way is more comfortable for you 🫶. vibe check passed.

✨ NOTES ✨

okay important stuff, listen up:

you will need an emulator for the NES in order to play this game. unfortunately 😭 the author has found that it doesn't work correctly with all emulators. one that has been tested is FCE Ultra, so try that if your regular one doesn't work. see /usr/share/doc/efp/README.Debian for more details.

fr fr, if your emulator is being shady, it's not you, it's the emulator. go read that README bestie 📖
