PONG!!!

Pong was invented by a company called Atari which started in 1991 when two co-workers, Noland Bushnell and Al Alcorn decided to start their own video game buisness. They called their buisness Syzygy. Although they thought it was a cool name no one else could pronounce it, so they had to come up with a new name and Atari was the first one that came to mind.
Earlyer that year an unknown person had invented a game called "Spacewars" and the two co-workers goal was to remake that game into a more arcade style game. The game they made was called "Computer Space." They thought it was a good idea at the time, but people really just were showing no interest in it. To make a long story short, the game sucked! So after doing a little research the two men found that people thought the game was to complicated and just not that fun to play. So Bushnell said "Lets make something ten times more simple," and with that, the two men came up with Pong! Pong was a huge success and and sold tons of copies! The two men couldn't believe a game so simple could become so popular! I guess you could call pong the godfather of all video games, some of the best gamers in the industry started out playing Pong, and if you have never played it.... shame on you! Get on the computer and play it for cheese sakes! Anyway that's it for pong, If you need to find out any more info (cause this is pretty much pong in a nutshell) you should try to google it. Well, I hope that helps (not that it was intended to help) until next time....

keep on gaming!

p.s.
if you have not played pong,that does not refer to you!
