AVOID MISSING BALL
Genesis of gameplay from Tennis Programming to Pong

From the first blips of phosphorescent light to the vast online worlds we play in today games have become both a mirror and driver of modern culture. Few videogames have had as profound an impact on technology and entertainment as the one that started it all – TV Ping-Pong. This first-of-its-kind survey explores the early history of influence that led to the development of this iconic game, from early experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Sanders Associates to the start-ups of Silicon Valley, and celebrate the pioneers who created a new medium.

Special guest appearance by Al Alcorn, the creator of Atari's Pong.
