Pongmechanik

Pongmechanik is an ambitious technology/art project by Niklas Roy which is an absolutely physical remake of the original Pong (which is the first computer game in history). The game is realized electromechanically, and essentially consists of four elements: A relay computer, the mechanical movement with collision detection, the display and the acoustic components. These four elements produce an exact copy of the classical Pong. Each player uses a joystick to drive a simple logic circuit made from telephone relays. There are no microcontrollers or integrated circuits in the entire system.

If you still remember how much you had fun playing Pong on your Atari, start drooling coz this seems much more fun.!
