        I bet my old generic Sears pong set still works.

            Well, I’m pretty sure it left us in a yard sale when we moved out of state.
            By then I was all about my TI 99/4a. Rockin my tape drive. Writing my first games in line-number BASIC.

        I made one a few years ago with some arcade parts. It’s a little bulky, but works. And, hopefully, shouldn’t break.

            Thanks! It definitely elevates a game of Yar’s Revenge.
