ATARI HISTORY


November 29, 1972

Atari Pong would be a smash hit and Nolan knew it. Nolan being the superb salesman that he is, convinced Midway that Nutting didn't want it, and told Nutting that Midway didn't want it either, so Bushnell took the $500 in royalties he'd made off of Computer Space and set Al Alcorn to work on designing a simple game of TV tennis. He and partner Ted Dabney started Atari. Needless to say, Pong was a monster and before it could be patented, every company copied it, including Allied Leisure where Gene Lipkin was working at the time. "Nolan would roll over fresh if he hears this," says Lipkin, "but our Paddle Battle was a better game." Even Nutting Associates got into the Pong game with their own version called Space Pong. Pong would see many different cabinet versions from cocktail tables to dog houses to even Pong's in wooden barrels! Unfortunately Pong attracted so much attention, a certain company by the name of Magnavox took notice and for good reason, months earlier they demonstrated a home TV video game called Odyssey and Atari's new Pong game was strikingly similar, too much so. So after a little checking by Magnavox lawyers, sure enough, on the Magnavox guest book for the demonstration was the signature of none other then Nolan Bushnell himself. Magnavox sued Atari, Bushnell & Atari agreed to a license under the Sanders/Magnavox patents for which Atari paid a fixed sum as a paid-up license in June of 1976 for domestic games. In later years Atari paid much more for foreign rights. All in all, the settlement was certainly in Atari's favor due to its huge success with Pong and its many variations and flavors.

Atari celebrates Pong's 40th anniversary with an iOS app

It wasn’t the most sophisticated game, especially compared to the graphic-intensive masterpieces being played on consoles today, but millions of old-school gamers still have a soft spot for table tennis classic Pong. Fans of the hit video game celebrated its 40th anniversary on Thursday.

Pong was the first successful video game to market. Developed by engineer Allan Alcorn and introduced to the world by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, the game proved to be so popular that it allegedly jammed up within days of being installed at Andy Capp’s Tavern in Sunnyvale, California—too many quarters, the manager said.

The game was officially released November 29, 1972

Norman Goodman: What is it, Harry?

Dr. Harry Adams: Take a look. It's chipped!

Captain Harold C. Barnes: Alright, it's chipped - so what?

Dr. Harry Adams: Well I thought you said this thing wouldn't damage when it crashed and that this titanium alloy was so superstrong there's no way you can hurt it.

Captain Harold C. Barnes: I did.

Dr. Harry Adams: So how come it chips when this scientist just bangs on it with a hammer?
