I wonder if it's related to this 2600 homebrew of the same name? Vong = Verticle Pong.

It is. The developer made the 2600 version first and then worked on the 7800 version, which was never actually completed.  Here’s the current 7800 thread on AtariAge.

Ever heard of the Atari 7800 game Vong? No? Well don't feel bad, I didn't either. Here's the story of a game that slid through the cracks, how many of these carts exist, the controversy surrounding this title and what the frig the gimmick is to begin with. Have fun with it! #atari7800 #atari #pong

Good vid, good unraveling summary of what's going on with Vong 7800. 😄 Glad you had fun on your trip to North Carolina too. :3

I have that game.  🙂

I like it. It’s a pretty cool game. Easy pick-up and play, type of game.

Found my PM from 8 years ago. Wow, time flies.

“…Muncher is my third and latest release. Vong was the first, and Mini Game Collection was second, which included Adventure 1K, Assembly Line, and Snake.”
