Pong is a video game based on ping-pong, released by Atari on November 29 1972. It is the first video game to win widespread popularity, in both its arcade and home console versions.

Its creators were the first to recognize that technology had evolved sufficiently to make such a game possible. Displaying graphics on a video or television screen and reacting in real time to user input required more computer power than 1960s consumer products could afford. Even in 1970, the computing power of a modern cell phone would have required a mainframe computer the size of a small apartment. However, by drawing only two lines for paddles, a line for the net and a square for the ball, Pong was playable as a graphical game on the technology of the early 1970s and could soon be sold as units to consumers.

Gameplay

---

PONG is a basic simulation of the racket sport of table tennis. A small square representing a ping pong ball travels across the screen in a linear trajectory. If the square strikes the perimeter of the playing field, or one of the simulated paddles, the square ricochets based on the angle of the impact.
