        Very sad news, also sad that it took 5 days for major news outlets to report on it. 🤔😢 Also, @alalcorn is the creator of PONG. I believe Ted did the cabinet. 🎮

        I remember playing Pong with my dad at the mall. First video game experience, unforgettable memory of quality time spent with him.

        Pong was the bomb. Eight siblings and we played round robin. Great memories. Thank you, Mr Dabney. Rest in Peace.
