Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Pong. Which is argueably the first ever video game. It’s a square, which represents a ball, because circles were too advanced for that time period, and its bounding between two rectantgles which defend the ball from getting past them. It’s essentially ping pong, but I guess the hardware couldn’t handle the ping, only the pong.

Tennis for Two was a realtime tennis simulation a full 14 year earlier. Of course there wasn’t really a video arcade industry to bring it into the mainstream in the late 1950"s.
