Nothing like technoligy...

I like the old ones. Maybe because they're the ones I grew up with. I still have my old "Pong" console. It's a SEARS version that takes 4 'D' batteries. It still works.

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

Fred, hang on to that old Pong unit, it's sure to eventually be a collector's item.

Funny thing...



I have a Real PONG coin Arcade( Big yellow Face and imitation wood grain sides) unit right behind me in my office at home serial #29 i believe.. very early version....



I bought if from the origianl owner in the 80's for $49.00

He was a union boss a bought this directly from atari(Bushnell) for his family

It is in very goo and playable condition.

[Bart Adkins]

I don't believe in the evolution of video games...I think god created all the video games as they are...if the evolution of video games were true, then why isn't my pong game turning into a PS3?...the evolution of video games is only a theory it isn't fact.:wacko::lol:

 

[TracN Jack]
