I am literally a wh*te rectangle.

Anyways. Jokes aside. Pong is such an interesting game. On the surface, it’s just you and the computer playing Ping Pong. You and the computer are moving white objects that can bounce a white square from one side to the other. They can be moved to the adjustment of the controller. You and the computer will go on and on and on until one of you makes a slip and the other gets a point. This keeps going until one of you gets 11 points. Then, the game is over. You must now input another 25 cents, or a quarter, into the Arcade machine so you can play again. It’s so simple. You can even play Pong with a friend. But I don’t think any of us have any real friends in this day and age so that idea is just completely out of the question. And even if you do have any real friends these days, I don’t think they will be willing to be playing a near 50 year old game with you instead of the latest first person shooter or party game. Pong is just a simple game yet so brilliant. Just rating this game is completely unnecessary. It’s just too important. Without it, I wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t be here. No one would be here. It’s like rating water. That’s how important this computerized version of ping pong is.

I have two variants of Pong consoles, one of them at least since I can remember playing it in 83. Sadly, there was no AI, so you had to either make friends to play one of the installed Pong variations or play the "Pelota" variant, which basically is your white rectangle playing the square against a wall.

2 cents a round is a pretty good deal all things considered.

They definitely didn't nickle and dime people on this one.
