To celebrate the 40th birthday of Pong, one of the earliest arcade video games ever created. Atari has created a modded Xbox 360 which is equipped with a LCD screen and been custom styled to look like the original Atari 2600 games console.
The original Atari 2600 game console was released back in October 1977 by Atari and used microprocessor-based hardware and ROM cartridges containing the games code, rather than using non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with games code built in.
Atari has also launched a new Pong game for iOS which is now available to download for free from the Apple iTunes App Store.�?Pong World introduces a new generation to the classic game of PONG with a dazzling unique twist and colorful new look,?

?We were impressed with the creativity and original vision of indie developers in the PONG contest, and the grand prize winner receives full honors as the marquee release for the title?s 40 year anniversary,? said Giancarlo Mori, EVP Product Development, Atari. ?Pong World�is an excellent tribute to one of our company?s legacy titles, giving players a fresh new look and the classic gameplay they know and love.?
