Yes I know that. I though pong was a Atari game. So I was saying it was the Mario's Bros of the past because it was so popular.

Pong was pretty much the first videogame. It was before the game companies started so most had versions of Pong.

I looked it up. Atari coined the name Pong but it was based on earlier electronic table tennis games.

In 1974 the makers of the Magnavox Odyssey sued Atari for stealing the concept for Pong. Magnavox won the lawsuit in 1977, upholding the company’s patent, but by then Atari had already licensed the patent for $700,000.
