Trivia
Shortly after the first machine was installed, it quickly broke down. Upon arriving at the scene the creator noted that it wasn't a technical glitch, instead the game had been so popular that the coin slot had simply been overflowed with quarters.

The First Video Game Ever

Rated E.

Pong is one of if not the first video game ever made.Released in 1972 for the Atari.I live in Canada and one day in my cereal I found a CD called Atari The 80 Classic Games.Pong was one of the games on it.That CD is probably the only place you can find any Atari game.There is no plot to the game and because its the first video game ever it will not excel in Graphics or Gameplay.The game is very simple.You are one paddle and the CPU is another paddle.There is a ball which goes back and forth and the objective is you must make the CPU miss.Each time the CPU misses you get a point and likewise.The one who has the most points wins.Pong was a revolutionary game when it first came out.Now its dated of course but if you can find it its pretty fun to play.
