If you liked the popular arcade hit, you will love the home edition! PONG takes an entire tennis court and places it into the comfort of your own living room!

This state-of-the-art computer game machine allows two players to hold a tennis match by simultaneously manipulating handheld controllers that represent their players to either side of the screen. Never has one been able to experience such a level of immersion on the television screen. What was once a medium for one-way communication is now two ways!

The goal for PONG is to achieve the highest score by successfully returning more volleys than your opponent, as the white ball bounces over the also white net between the tennis players, who are white, as well.



What if your best friend is at the discotheque? Well, PONG also has a computer-controlled player that successfully replicates an actual tennis player for a game against you! It is unclear how the developers, Bushnell and Dabney, achieved such a level of intelligence from a game player machine, but they did so with mastery.

There have even been rumors circulating among the computer technology industry that a doubles-tennis version of PONG may be available in the near future.

If you are interested in obtaining your own PONG game player machine, you can order it through a Sears catalog - yes the same catalog that used to sell mechanical cures to female hysteria!
