40 years (or so) of Electronic Pings
It’s been 40 years since Pong was unleashed on an unsuspecting world, and PongMuseum.org is there to celebrate. Check out their collection for some oddities like East-German TvSpiel, the chunky West-German Tele-Multiplay - 825-301, or the GD 1380 that came with a gorgeous blue light-gun from the late, lamented HeathKit, or celebrate the do-it-yourself ethic with your own TV game kit (sorry, PAL only).
Currently, there’s a not-to-be-missed video of Ralph Baer playing Pong back in 1969: wide ties and analog blips, ahoy!
SCP has featured some different pong incarnations: choose-your-own-adventure book; pong-mechanik is mechanical pong; and Pong Story which is heavy on the history and photos.
