Pong With A Twist!

We get the "what's your oldest console" question a lot, and we always answer with the Magnavox Odyssey 400 pong console from 1975. This wasn't the first pong console, but it was the first to offer a new 'twist' to the era of pong consoles.

This has the typical X and Y axis to control your paddle, but a third knob offered an English (sidespin) control to curve your shot. This was revolutionary to the game... as all new pong consoles followed suit and offered the same. Come play it as part of our Retro Gallery, but bring a friend. You have to hold it between your laps as it's only 2 player. Who else does this?
