Pong is a two-dimensional sports game that
simulates table tennis. The player controls an
in-game paddle by moving it vertically across
the left or right side of the screen. They can
compete against another player controlling a
second paddle on the opposing side. Players use
the paddles to hit a ball back and forth. The
goal is for each player to reach eleven points
before the opponent; points are earned when one
fails to return the ball to the other.

Tennis for Two (also known as Computer Tennis)
is a sports video game that simulates a game of
tennis, and was one of the first games developed
in the early history of video games. Its visuals
show a representation of a tennis court viewed
from the side, and players adjust the angle of
their shots with a knob on their controller and
try to hit the ball over the net by pressing a button.

Computer Space is a derivative of the 1962
computer game Spacewar!, which is possibly the
first video game to spread to multiple computer
installations. It features a rocket controlled by
the player engaged in a missile battle with a pair
of hardware-controlled flying saucers set against a
starfield background. The goal is to score more hits
than the enemy spaceships within a set time period,
which awards a free round of gameplay.
