Is there a website that has a large collection of pictures of different Pong units? I know there were literally hundreds of Pong clones, but I'd like to find a picture of a particular one. It's the one I had as a kid.
In my mind, it's shaped almost like an Atari 2600. It seems like it was tapered at the bottom like a 2600, then came up and was almost the same size/shape (not one of the smaller ones), and then the back tilted up like the 2600. Maybe I'm getting my memories confused.
This one was beige or off-white. I remember the controllers were removable, and I think the knobs were silver. The knobs weren't like a spinner knob (like TRON), they were more like ... I don't know, "tapered"?
If you guys know of any places that have pictures, I'd be glad to search through them. I could also sketch it out on paper, although I'm pretty sure I'm remembering some of it wrong.
I know that we had it Thanksgiving Day of 1977.
