   *WHY ATARI’S PONG MATTERS 45 YEARS LATER*

   The most important video game ever made came out 45 years ago this   
   week: Pong. Released on November 29, 1972, Atari’s iconic table tennis   
   simulator wasn’t the first video game ever made, but it was the first   
   video game that was a massive commercial success. Moreover, it basically   
   launched the video game industry as we know it today ...
