Pong is a pioneering arcade video game released by the American game manufacturer Atari, Inc., in 1972. Based on table tennis, it lets two players control paddles on opposite sides of a screen. Each player moves a paddle vertically to return a moving ball across the screen. Pong became the first commercially successful arcade video game and helped bring electronic gaming to a mass audience.
