Fun Facts About Pong

I remember playing Atari Pong decades ago, on a TV, around 1978 or so. It must have been "Home Pong", the home-based version released in 1975 that became a wild success.

Pong has an interesting history. The game was released by Atari, Inc., in June 1972. Pong was one of the earliest video games ever developed, and it is considered the first commercially successful video game.

The Pong game was first released as an arcade cabinet. By the end of 1974, Atari had sold more than 10,000 of the arcade units.

The home version, Home Pong, which came out in 1975, broke all sales records. Over 150,000 units of the new Home Pong unit were sold by Sears during the holiday season of 1975. The game was Sears' most successful product at that time.

In case you were wondering, the famous Atari Asteroids was released after Pong. The first Asteroids cabinets hit the market in 1979. So Pong came before Asteroids.

Pong was a fun game back then, and it still is. Enjoy!
