Pong! Pong! Pong!

TRS-80s Unite !!!

Atari is putting out Pong in November!!!

This will not mean much to the younger crowd, but Pong to the geeks like me of the 70s was a wondrous thing. A simple game, two paddles, two colors, one “ball” that got faster as the game progressed, simple physics and a game that you could understand in seconds and no need for a manual or cheat code or god mode.

Pong led to breakout, Asteroids, Battle Zone and others but Pong was my first.

Sadly enough, Pong was just a little bit before my time, but I do remember playing Break-out and Asteroids. Ahh.. .nostalgia how I've missed thee

I remember the first time I saw Pong. It was at a hotel in Oklahoma City in 1975. It was a cool thing for the then 14 me. I can't believe how blown away I was by it!
