Pong, for many of us, it’s a bit before our time. However, the game’s impact will forever be remembered. Pong was the first commercially successful video game, and it set the stage for the future of gaming. Atari is looking to recreate the magic of Pon, revealing the Mini Pong Jr. The device was built by Unis and measures about a foot long.
The device includes a 7.9-inch LCD, retro sound effects, and physical dials for control. The game can be played by two players at once while sitting across from one another. There are ten levels of AI difficulty in one-player mode, which provides plenty of gameplay and some intense speed.
The classic game comes to live in a modern form, offering a great way to take a step back into a simpler time. The device features a USB cable and adapter for power, while three lithium rechargeable batteries provide cord-free play. The Mini Pong Jr. is slated to release this holiday season in North America and Asia.
Take a look at the images and head over to Atari to find out more right now. While you’re at it, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more gaming news coming soon.
