And I Was There At The Beginning

 

I have told the story many times about playing Pong in 1973 in a posh Hotel in Berchtesgaden in Germany. They had a huge ballroom with gilded walls and a full size grand piano. In the corner of this beautiful room was ONE Pong Game that men in business suits would arrive to play at lunch in the hotel. Me and my sister played that game all week which was so new that you had to get AMERICAN QUARTERS from the Front Desk to play it. I felt like an Astronaut in space and it was dazzling. Five or so years later we got a HOME pong game from Radio Shack that had a TWO paddle game that was suppose to be tennis. Blew my mind.
