Award For Beating Creator Of Pong… At Pong
Written by Nicola on 24th March, 2008
Our forum member Radiac discovered something pretty unique.
The seller states:
This was given to my mother who worked for Atari when it was first starting out. This was given as an award for getting first place in a company Pong tournament. She beat Nolan Bushnell (the godfather of gaming, creator of Pong and founder of Atari).
Definitely one of a kind, and definitely the ultimate paperweight.

Seen at the Classic Gaming Expo Museum:

So there’s at least TWO of them out there…
who’s to say it’s not the same one?
Well, it still has the wooden base (I believe that was attached), and the one in the CGE museum belongs to CGE… As far as I know they aren’t selling museum items… I guess we’ll find out this year if it’s still in the museum.
I believe Bushnell commented that these were made and given out as awards for a couple of competitions, so there’s probably a couple of them at least… (Still rare though.)
