What was that game called ( a bit like tennis) that you used to be able to play on your TV screen if you had the appropriate game box - I'm going back to the seventies now - the first game ever that I remember you could play through your telly. You hit a ball from side to side of the screen and you could go faster and faster if you wanted?

Wasn't it called Pong? I used to have an old orange Binatone console that played that game!

I think the arcade version was the 'Pong' one. We've still got one of the original 'consoles' (don't think they were called that then) in a cupboard. It plugged into your TV and had either 5 or 6 games on it:- the original table tennis, a version of squash, a football version (like two table tennis) and two shoot the moving spot games which had a light gun. We even managed to fool it into running the table tennis and shooting game at the same time! Oh what fun?!
