Pong
Core: The core of the game was originally an ideal for a training exercise, assigned and created by a computer scientist who worked for an Atari game company. The ideal was based off of an electronic ping- pong game that was included in the Magnavox Odyssey, the world's first commercial home video game console.
Concept: Pong is made up of a simple design, its more like a two- dimensional sports game that simulates table tennis.

Content: The contents of the game consisted of two paddles and a ball, a borderline that represented each player's playing field, and a scoreboard. It also had sound effects simulating the hitting of the ball back and forward and also when going out of bounds.
