Actually, Magnavox released the Odyssey 100, the first home video game system, which included a game remarkably similar to Pong, several months before Pong's debut in the arcades in 1972. The Odyssey 100 was invented by Ralph Baer." ............. The first Pong-like game "Tennis for Two" was made 1958. More about it here: http://www.pong-story.com/thefirst.htm , and especially here: http://www.osti.gov/accomplishments/videogame.html (with RealVideo clips of the actual game) Ralph Baer wants himself to be called the inventor of Pong-like games, because his game used tv for showing the game. William Higinbotham's game in 1958 used an oscilloscope. ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "Less is moo" -- The Holy Mad Cow
