Default Non-Computerized Version Of Pong

http://www.cyberniklas.de/pongmechanik/indexen.html

"Pongmechanik is an electromechanical conversion of the classical game Pong. And instead of more realistic graphics, it ever accurately to reproduces the original Pong. The user is hardly changed. However the game breaks open the Black box: What takes place in the computer, becomes again perceptible and comprehensible."



Well, not the best German to English translation. Not sure how useful this is, but it is interesting!

That is so cool. I want to make one. That'd be cool if they put up a step-by-step DIY guide.

WOW!

Did you see the video? I love the big flashing "X" over the circuit board and the check sign next to the relay board! Totally made my day. (runs off to find telephone relays on eBay)
