Eric7100 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Don't forget that there is also a hidden "Round Pong" game, which nobody has found yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Defender Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 What is THE earliest arcade video game? Great question! According to this link it is something called "Syzygy" in 1971 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_arcade_video_game_history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Syzygy was the name of the company and the game they produced was "Computer Space". It was a remake of an old computer game that goes back to the 1960s. You can't talk about the history of pong without mentioning Ralph Baer and the Magnavox Odyssey. Mattel also had Brickout, a pong like game for one person back in 1981 but not released until 1998 by Intellivision Productions. It's a remake of Atari's Breakout. All these old Pong based games originally used analog paddle controllers. Edit: By 1980 people aleady had enough of pong.

Ralph and the Odyssey were featured in the history booklet "Avoid Missing Ball for High Score" included with copies of Ultimate Pong.
