Atari Pong

It's pretty much the game that started it all!

Take a trip through time with Atari Pong! Back in the early 1970s, this simple game was considered downright revolutionary. Believe it or not, Pong is one of the most influential titles of all time. Take control of either the paddle on the left or the right side of the screen while you challenge the computer. The first player to reach 11 points wins! Originally released in 1972, Pong was inspired by an electronic ping-pong game. Curiously enough, it was never intended for public release. Pong was originally just a testing exercise managed by the American programmer Allan Alcorn. When two of the co-founders of Atari saw what he had created, they realized they had a potential hit on their hands and the rest is history.
