A strange little side quest
Zoom out from Ray Part for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. And the history keeps stacking up: In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. So a round of Ray Part is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer video-game history timeline.
