MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: 1970s story about the emergence of a new electronic game called Pong

Heh. The salesman saying ‘Silicone’ back then. The guy probably worked in the jukebox field market and was thinking Dolly Parton’s big boobs when being interviewed.

“Breasts …ooops I meant to say bests”. Maybe that was one of the dialogue skits with Threes Company Jack Tripper character ( John Ritter ) saying iirc

Anyway, a good clip find there. Dang. And the news reporter mentions a few of the known pong clone names not yet emulated. Even though Allied Leisure Paddle Battle is almost an exact clone of Atari Pong, there might be a couple slight differences where net list code might be different than what is supported in Atari Pong. The tv monitor might be one thing even though the resolution output should be the same because they were black / white TV sets. The digital audio output sounds might also be different between Pong versus Paddle Battle.

Midway Winner has a few other differences and would require different net list code work just to get Winner emulated.

For Play’s Rally, which I had uploaded schematics here in 2018 requires a bunch of different stuff such as slide switch input recognition, a couple different TTL chips not yet emulated iirc.

I miss my old computer not working and need to get it repaired and or hard disk contents rescued if possible.
