Pong Played By Its Creators

Filed under: Retro Gadgets,Toys and Games — Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am

In the early eighties, my dad bought a broken Pong game from the local thrift store. He opened it up, soldered the connections and we were the luckiest kids on our block. We had a video game before anyone in our neighborhood had an Atari. Watching the creators of Pong play their game, brings back memories of how excited we were.

Thanks, Ralph Baer and Bill Harrison, for starting the video game revolution. Without you guys, there would be no late night Mario Kart marathons.
