Pong Demo: The First Video Game on a Television Set

Video

Description:

Ralph Baer and Bill Harrison play the first video game on a television set in 1969.
Two years later, they would be recorded demonstrating their famous Ping-Pong game on the “brown box” console, which later became the basis of Atari’s Pong.

    Cool. The very first video game over all was Tennis for Two on a Sonar Screen I believe. But neat to see the first on-television game.

    I had one of these games. Got it for Christmas at Sears–but it was in the early ’70’s before I got mine! LOVED it!!

    Damn we have embellished PvP into something you cannot recognise.
