Pong Original Game

Pong is one of the first computer games ever created. This simple game, similar to tennis, involves two rackets and a ball. The goal is to beat your opponent by scoring 10 points first. The player gets a point as soon as the opponent misses the ball. The game can be played with two human players or a player against a computer-controlled bot. The game was initially developed by Allan Alcorn and released in 1972 by Atari Corporation. Pong was soon a huge success and became the first commercially successful game. In 1975, Atari released a home version of Pong (the first version was played on arcade machines), which sold 150,000 units. Today, the Pong Game is considered the game that started the video game industry because it proved that the video game market could generate significant revenue. This is the story we know even today when we have computers and tablets at hand, on which, without much trouble, you can play the original Pong!
