Every incredible artistic achievement that video games have made in the past half-century have done so thanks to Pong.

If games, or any art for that matter, should be judged by the time they were created in (and I believe they should) Pong deserves a 5-star rating right there for its innovation alone.

If we were to hold it against modern games its heritage and legacy only becomes clearer, as does the culture of creativity that it created.
