A strange little side quest
Put Perry The Perv next to the history of video-game history and a few unexpected connections appear. In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. The same trail leads to another fact: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Perry The Perv feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
