Play a version of the classic arcade game - originally launched in 1972 by our Video Games Fellow, Nolan Bushnell for Atari.
At the 2009 GAME British Academy Video Games Awards, Nolan Bushnell , one of the founding fathers of the video games industry received the Academy Fellowship.
In 1972 Nolan oversaw the release of what was to become one of the best-loved – and most-played – video games of all time: Pong. With its simple format and instantly accessible gameplay, Pong was the first video game to achieve widespread popularity in both the arcade and home console markets.
