Pong
Remember your first video game? For many, it was Pong.
With its minimalist charm, it lit up arcade screens in 1972, thanks to Atari and designer Allan Alcorn. It wasn’t flashy—but it was groundbreaking. Three years later, it entered homes and made history again, selling 150,000 units. That little dot bouncing back and forth? It started a global phenomenon.
