Reply #8: My brother and I got a pong knockoff for x-mas a year or so after debut

[sybylla]

We had a blast for about a month. And then we'd dig it out on those rainy days of spring and summer when there was nothing else to do.

I liked it because you could play by yourself, too, so I didn't have to wait for my brother to decide to be nice to me that day.

And then I got good enough that I could play the two-player game alone - a hand on each controller. But I never got good enough to get out of the lower speeds.

I think my mom still has it in the attic.

on edit: I really felt old when I had to explain to my kids who Pong was in the Reboot cartoon.
