negative1 #1 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Noticed these pong tables, keep coming up every year at CES. So did they ever get released. I'm sure they're pretty expensive: Around $2000 and more... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQg2s-z--y0 Information at: http://www.universal-space.com/ THE ALL NEW TICKET VERSION • Coin-operated • Great for FECs, arcades, and a wide variety of entertainment locations • Elevated height – can be played without stools • 1-2 player version later -1 Edited January 11, 2019 by negative1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eltigro #2 Posted January 11, 2019 They were at PRGE in Oct, too. They seem to be pretty popular at the shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ls650 #3 Posted January 11, 2019 https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/10/analog-pong-is-beautiful-but-so-expensive/ The home edition is priced at $3,000, arcades can grab one for $4,299, while the cocktail twist retails for $4,499. Beautiful looking devices, but I would not spend $3000 US on one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoyous #8 Posted January 11, 2019 Ars Technica recently posted an article that gives a tour of several arcades in Japan. One of them had this Pong unit. The author noted that although the paddles and ball have a convincingly video-gamey movement, there is significant lag between rotary controller input and paddle movements that makes them unsatisfying. You can find the Pong pictures and captions in the first picture gallery: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/01/a-bewildered-far-from-conclusive-look-at-the-state-of-public-gaming-in-tokyo/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UberArcade #9 Posted January 12, 2019 I backed the kickstarter and have yet to receive the table. I got an email recently that sounded like I would get one soon. It has been the typical kickstarter shit show of terrible planning and missed timelines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ls650 #10 Posted January 12, 2019 I bought into a Kickstarter in Nov 2017 for a miniatures war game for about $75. The items were supposed to originally ship July 2018. Delay after delay... now they are saying February... but I don't think they said which February... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
