    Pong is still arguably a balanced, and therefore good game. Especially if you were playing the Atari or Texas Instruments versions, since those may have been some of the last mainstream video games that didn’t cheat in favor of anyone. Neither the player or the computer was favored, which became the norm for most video games rather quickly thereafter.

      Both. A nerd new nerds. The Ti friends had that shoot ‘em up gunslinger game… it was basically pong with a hat and guns.
