Haha, that's awesome. Wasn't really a game other than a demonstration of where technology was at at the time, but still cool looking nonetheless.

HAHAHA, thats nuts. I wonder how big that "computer" must have been!
And how did they even know when to hit the button?! You couldn't see where the paddle was. Almost like it would hit the ball no matter what as long as it wasn't out of the screen

What about OXO? OXO was the first games, don't you guys deny it!

It's analog, so can it really be considered a computer game?
If you have a VCR and I have a VCR, and we put a tape in each and hit rewind to see who's will finish quicker...
analog = video game = no for me.

To me the first "video games" are the text base kind.
