LOL more like a Model T with 3 fouled plugs. 16K was the hard drive....can you imagine trying to operate a system that only holds 16,000 bits of info.

Yeah, pong was great LOL. I also had an old "Omnimax 2000." Same principle as pong, but the console had two knobs--one for you and one for your opponent who laid on the floor with ya behind the console. Then ya twisted the knob to move the paddle up and down and play the darned thing. I think it had something like three "different" games...tennis, ping pong, and racquetball (all really the same damn game LOL). The game selector was a tiny sliding switch on that red piece of primitive gaming junk LOL.

When you needed a snack or restroom break, you could get the paddle within an inch or so of the side of the screen, trapping that little ball. LOL
