Pong (ColecoVision) – Atari & CollectorVision’s Classic Table Tennis Game

Pong, one of the most iconic video games ever created, was adapted for the ColecoVision by Atari and CollectorVision Games.

As a two-dimensional sports simulation, Pong replicates the experience of table tennis in a simple yet highly competitive format.

The gameplay is straightforward but engaging. Players control a vertical paddle positioned on one side of the screen, moving it up and down to intercept a bouncing ball. The objective is to outmaneuver the opponent—whether a computer-controlled paddle or another human player—by deflecting the ball past their side of the screen to score points.

This ColecoVision release preserves the classic mechanics that made Pong a defining title of early video game history, while bringing the experience into the home console era. Its minimalistic design highlights reflexes, timing, and precision, ensuring replayability despite its simple concept.

As one of the earliest examples of head-to-head competitive gaming, Pong stands as both a milestone in video game development and a timeless example of accessible, pick-up-and-play entertainment. Its availability on the ColecoVision helped cement the console’s reputation for delivering classic and innovative titles alike.
