    "What's this? Asshole pong?"
    Makes me laugh every time

    My dad was telling me about how his family used to own a pong console back when he was a kid. He was describing it to me, saying it had four game modes. Tennis, Hockey, Handball, and Skeet shooting. He said that it had mechanical buttons to change the game modes that would light up and told me that you could pop out the controllers. I was thinking to myself, "that sounds so familiar. Where have I heard about this before?" I went back to this video to look for it, and lo and behold, 6:27 showed up and that was it! The Colorsport VIII. I showed some screenshots to my dad and he confirmed it. That was the one. Thanks for helping me out by making this video, James!

    Most houses back in the 70s/80s were even older so the electricity wasn't stable, you had a higher risk of damaging small electronics plugged into the wall if the power ever had problems, which is why almost every piece of technology from that era has a battery option.

      Not only that, but old houses typically only had a single outlet in an entire room and the tv or lamp would usually be using it. lol

      ikr? there is also a game called "BIT.TRIP FLUX" (a "rhythm" game that's like pong) and in the final stage, the opponent is full size and it feels IMPOSSIBLE 😂💀

      Or maybe it's supposed to be like Paddleball Pong where you practice your pong skills or see how long you can go deflecting the ball by yourself.

Later, during what James calls the "bit wars", the number of bits in the processor or graphics processor was in the system name, like the Turbografx 16 and the Nintendo 64.
