Pong384 + Pong512 by PPs
------------------------
Very simple Pong clone that is just some sectors in length.

pong384.atr          := single player vs. cpu game unbeatable
pong384_2_player.xex := two player game
pong512.xex          := single player vs. cpu game beatable

Press button on paddle 0 to play after load has finished.
Players should use paddles to play. 2 player mode uses both
paddles in port one of ATARI. First player who gets 9 points
wins. Game will reboot after a short break at the end.

Real length of game:
pong384.atr          := 373 bytes
pong384_2_player.xex := 383 bytes (incl. 6 bytes file header)
pong512.xex          := 511 bytes (incl. 6 bytes file header)

Initially I planned to have all within 384 bytes, but later I
wanted to be able to beat the cpu in one player game. This
caused in a length above 384 bytes, so I wanted to add some
sound and the mid screen line and changed aim to 512 bytes.
I am sure, that there is potential to optimize it better,
but atm I am fine with the results.
