Pong Wars
Pong Wars is Pong with a spicy twist. You are given two special abilities, Time Wrap and Adrenaline Mode. Use these two powerful abilities at the right time and you will find yourself in control of the field.
I created Pong Wars to learn C++ and SDL back in 2006. I have only tried compiling it on Linux.

Specials
Time Wrap
Either reduce the speed of the ball if it is coming towards you or increase the speed of the ball if it is going away from you. This special may reverse the direction of the ball.
Time Wrap can only be used once per round and are recharged when you score on your opponent. Everytime someone scores, a new round begins.
Adrenaline Mode
In Adrenaline Mode, the player that makes the first goal gains 2 points, while the defender loses 1 point.
Adrenaline Mode is activated once a player earns enough points. After activation, the player may activate Adrenaline Mode at any time.
