Wow, I must be getting old. Spent countless hours playing it at a friends house
Not old, just seasoned. Played Pong on on the Atari 2600 back when it was new. Later I moved on to arcades and eventually the NES, Sega Genesis, etc.Wow, some of you must feel old. Thankfully this one was. Before my time
give it another 45 years and we'll be thereJust think about it though.. compare pong to a AAA title game today. Then try to image what video games will be like in 45 more years. It's not really possible to imagine, but if I could, it would probably something along the lines of not being able to distinguish real life from a video game where you hop into a neural uplink pod and enter the game which simulates reality.
I remember seeing ColecoVision displays where you could play Pong in stores back when I was in HS. Our first console was a Sears branded Atari 2600. I think I may be getting old.Coleco Telstar still in the closet.....
This is the one I had in 1974 or 1975. The Hanimex 777 with four games!Oy, I definitely had a Pong Standalone game in the 70's as a kid. Can't remember though if it was Magnavox or Atari, leaning towards former. Looking at pictures isn't jogging memories though...want to say it may have been a clone from like Sears or something, possibly a wiid grain 'furniture' style one. But hey, I can't remember what I did yesterday either.
