PONG (1972) is the longest‑circulating video game, still playable on phones, web archives, and even Apple Watch apps, and this is the first book dedicated to it, examining why Atari’s simple breakout hit succeeded and endures. Guins traces Atari’s business savvy: positioning PONG in the coin‑op amusement market against pinball, inventing a fake rival company (Kee Games) to double arcade placements, and landing Sears’ holiday catalog to pioneer the home console market.
