years later… we got the ping… infuriating everyone
I stream Pong to a crowd of 0 every opportunity I get.
She isn’t a looker, but she was our first.
Revolutionized? Was there a video game industry at that time? I think started an industry is more like it.
My dad brought one home, and I loved it. My sister and I played for hours. I had no idea where the next 50 years would lead the technology, but I’m so glad I’ve seen it.
Sooo according to Karens, *Violence was introduced to humanity 50 years ago.*
I loved that it had analogue controls and multiplayer. Pure gameplay without story, music or fancy graphics.
HEY ,I HAD ONE OF THOSE !!
Tabletop pong in a bar at quarter a game was awesome
I think I still have a Binatone up in the loft somewhere, squash was particularly memorable.
Finally something other than Pinball.
I still have mine. I wonder if I have a screen with the right inputs to connect it to…
It also inspired Nebula award winning author C.W. Long bottom!
My first console..i think I had it around 82, quite late..but it was still amazing for a 4 years old.
This was my first video game, on a Zenith TV I think.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Pong the only existing playable game on “gen 1” console(s)?
Also, I’m pretty sure Magnavox released Pong on the Odyssey first and actually sued Atari.
Highly recommended people play the Atari 50 collection which recently released. It’s very informative and well done
