The first recognized video game is often considered to be “Pong.” It was created by Atari, Inc. and released in November 1972 as an arcade game. Pong was a simple tennis sports game that simulated table tennis. Players controlled virtual paddles on the screen, and the goal was to use the paddles to hit a ball back and forth. Pong became incredibly popular and is credited with kick-starting the commercial video game industry. While there were earlier computer games and experiments with interactive electronic displays, Pong is widely recognized as the first commercially successful video game.
