The creator of legendary video game Pong talks to Jason Hill.
Allan Alcorn may be one of video gaming's founding fathers, but he says he never expected games would become such a cultural force.
The creator of Atari's Pong, the world's first popular video game, Mr Alcorn says he considers himself "extremely lucky to have been in the right place at the right time at the start of an industry".
Omar writes: "With the Horizon Festival coming to breathtaking Japan, you’ll need the essential gear to prove you’ve got what it takes to become a Horizon Legend as you cruise, drift and explore an open world full of spectacular driving experiences. That’s why we’re happy to announce the newest Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller and Wireless Headset collection, featuring inspired designs from Forza Horizon 6. The bright cyan and lime colorways celebrate the Horizon Festival’s recognition of iconic cars and hit music, with special features that are sure to impress any collector."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
Wonderful graphics! xD
I thought Al Gore created Pong.
How I created Pong? His answer should have been "Oh, I just copied Ralph Bear's ping-pong game" - because that's what he did.
