Welcome aboard, 8BALL; but I have one question:

There wa stuff you could d/l for it and im sure and heres where the rusty memory kicks in there was a official or at least semi one by some third party mob. Plus there was silent service 2 in 1990 oh gawd i feel old again....

Okay, that explains it. I played on an Atari and never saw that stuff. Never even got online until I bought my first PC in '98.

But don't feel old; I played Pong when I was already married...back in 1974!

I was just looking through a book on the history of computer graphics, and was amazed to learn that PONG was originally developed for a mainframe computer back in 1958!

One time I didn't get unstuck. Poor crew suffocated. I didn't; they tore me to pieces first.
