Pong - Video Game Console/TV Game Commercial 1976

[biden_warrnx]

The Jedi marketing mind tricks were top notch. The fact that the public believed this game was three different games is nothing short of amazing

[kivancsil]

Seeing pong for the first time on a TV at home and not in an arcade in 1982 was madness. ❤

The most exciting game you **will** ever see.... Are you sure?

[HoshizakiYoshimasa]

Without this, you wouldn't have Atari Nintendo Sony or Sega.

[Bongwater]

I always use this game as an example of the olden days for kids "our video game was just a dash that hit a dot"

[DaCashRap]

Truly, I can't remember being this excited. Not even sure if I ever will be.

[Solattha]

In my lifetime we've gone from Pong, which is crudely based on table tennis, to a fully realised, close to perfect VR table tennis simulator... Eleven Table Tennis. What a time to be alive!

Lmao just showed my grandsons 'well thats boring' he's 5

[EminencePhront]

Even though there wasn't anything better at the time, I still struggle to imagine finding this fun.

[afire]

I am recall playing this...and then atari 2600 came out and I never looked back

[RepentAndBelieveInGod]

It's like not 3 in 1 but 1 in 3 😂

[tiphares]

it's cool, all whilst star wars was already in post-production & galactica was also coming soon :)

[anddronersfan]

I didn't know there were 3 types of pong

[simonoregan]

"Telstar "Handball" a game you play yourself" 😂😂😂

[ANYONE]

I did not hear the word 'Pong' at all in this entire commercial. Why is that??

[devinbounking]

This game was invented in 1958 and it it now 66 years old.

[ubiquitousdiabolus]

What we will have in another 45 years that will make the iPhone seem then, like Pong seems now?

[GifPif]

Would you rather
pong
double pong
pong

[DTA]

and now my mates struggle to play a game longer than a week....

[louiscampos]

i like the switch on the console. like a volume nobe on a keyboard.
