In the mid to late 1970s, dozens of single game consoles, dubbed "Pong consoles" flooded the market. The consoles featured built in copies of Pong, and its different versions, such as "Squash" or "Tennis". They were sold under many different brand names and had many different designs and different levels of functionality with the technology that existed at the time.
