Not bad for a first attempt at digitizing pinball.

As far as I know, there's no explanation on why this game, which obviously simulates a pinball machine, was called Ping Pong. Maybe I'm not remembering the specific paragraph in Atari Inc that explains it, but at any rate, this is a milestone in gaming history to be sure.

Que yo sepa, no hay explicación de por qué este juego, que obviamente simula una máquina de pinball, se llamaba Ping Pong. Tal vez no estoy recordando el párrafo específico en Atari Inc que lo explica, pero en cualquier caso, se trata indudablemente de un hito en la historia del videojuego.
