摘      要：Pong Coffee Table Retro tech is all the rage - witness the revived popularity of vinyl records and typewriters. So why not win the game with something that s even more retro than the original? Enter this version of Atari s 1972 Pong, the world s first commercially successful video arcade game. At first glance, it looks just like regular Pong in a coffee-table cabinet - but look closer: The ball and the paddle are mechanical, driven by magnets beneath the surface. Made by Calinfer under license from Atari, it will set you back US 3,000. Avoid missing ball for high score. © 1964-2012 IEEE.
