Pong: From Humble Beginnings to Arcade Dominance | Video Games Over Time

Awesome stuff! I learned a lot about the backstory and business side of things, which was super interesting. So far, I'm loving the new content! For anyone interested, there was a 1999 game Pong: the Next Level which showed some interesting alternate modes including 3D graphics and powerups.

I'm 55. We had a Pong clone in 74. Me and my friends would play this for hours on end. It is all we had until the VCS. You had to be careful. The game would burn a pattern into your TV if played for too long.

I think it’s safe to say… Pong is hard! 😂

Nice to hear you and Hannah together.

Bungie got their start with a Pong clone, and Commander Keen 4 includes one in the main menu :)
