I saw this a bit earlier today, and it reminded me of the very first time I played Pong:

That was impressive back then, wasn't it?

Did anyone else have the magnavox television with the button that switched it over to pong? We had one back in the early '80s when I was a kid. You plugged these paddle controllers into the back of the tv, clicked a pushbutton, and BAM you were playing pong.

Yeah, considering it was made with resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, and variable resistors (pots). There wasn't one vacuum tube in it. :)
