I'm pleased to announce that the very first video game for a modular home console, Table Tennis for the Odyssey, was just entered into the database by Star Gem (along with other Odyssey games). This entry is significant not only for being our oldest game (1972, which means MobyGames now covers 35 years of electronic gaming), but is also quite historically significant since this is the game that Nolan Bushnell copied when he and Al Kossow created Pong.

I'm really glad to hear it. We support Odyssey since 06/02/06, and until now we didn't have a single game listed. Thanks, Star Gem!

A milestone in MobyGames history. I graciously bow to Star Gem for adding this game of history to the database.
