My best friend when I was young - the nextdoor neighbor by default - got one of the very first "Pong" games.

It was one white rectangle on each side of the screen, and a white square that bounced back and forth.

The controllers had two dials. One for "horizontal" and one for "english."

The game came in "color." By color, I mean it had a piece of green plastic with a tennis court drawn on it that you taped to the TV. The plastic sheets came in two sizes: one set for 13" TV's, the other set for 20" TV's. There were no other sizes.

It fails to mention where pong pretty much the beginning of gaming got started. Pong was started by a couple EE's at MIT using an analog computer and an oscilliscope.
