Want to play Pong in reality? No problems
We made you a table with video game emulation so you can play a game that the video game emulates.
Atari Pong is one of the world's first video games. And she, despite its simplicity, is still popular. Its various incarnations in one form or another are appearing on mobile platforms now. But the toy was released in 1972, created by Allan Alcorn. In 1975, the company released the home version of the toy, which made it even more popular.

Now, when you don’t surprise anyone with electronic devices and video games, “warm tube” designs appear with reference to old games. Atari Pong, too, do not forget. The other day a draft of the game table was presented, which copies the game, and no screens are used here, everything happens in reality. And the implementation of the project took developers a whole two years. But the result was worth it.
Daniel Perdomo, the creator of the project, says: “The Pong Coffee table started about 2 years ago. I had an idea that I discussed with friends and we decided to try to implement this idea, to see how far we can find, working at night in our free time. Just for fun. ”
Perdomo says that the team didn’t have any developments ñ neither electronics, nor design sketches, nothing. All this was mined bit by bit on forums, YouTube and other resources.
The author has been working in the field of advertising computer graphics for more than 20 years, and this helped him in the design of the table. The result, as we see, is impressive. True, the developers say that the work remains to be done - this is only the first working prototype that needs to be improved.
You can be sure that even this prototype would be an ornament to any gaming salon or rest room. In this form, the toy carries even more.
