Early gaming

    It doesn’t get much earlier than Pong – my thanks to my sisters who, on occasion, let me loose the family gaming system. This required:

 

a/ nobody being able to watch tv for the next hour

b/ a hunt around for new C size batteries

c/ twiddling the tuning button with extraordinary patience until the flickering on the tv resolved into white lines on a black background

  • tis still a mesmerizing prospect!

 

 

PS there is an Apple Watch pong now!

 

Honorable mentions must go to Tomy and Nintendo for these gems too (albeit 10 years later):
