Talk about primitive--but it was cutting edge back then, lol, and lots of fun. I would love to have one of those "Pong" games today. Does anyone remember that one?
I don't know why, but I think it's really funny that you described what Pong was to us. I hate to say this but...if we don't know that, we're lost as a society.
