Why
released only in the region NA, not in Europe - no lower than Uncommon. Estimate: exact units produced unknown.Pong is a 1972 sports video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for arcades. It was created by Allan Alcorn as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell and Atari co-founder Ted Dabney were so surprised by the quality of Alcorn's work that they decided to manufacture the game. Bushnell based the game's concept on an electronic ping-pong game included on the Magnavox Odyssey, the first home video game console; in response, Magnavox later sued Atari for patent infringement. Pong was the first commercially successful video game, helping to establish the video game industry along with the Magnavox Odyssey.
