An amuzing article by James Grahame about some of the "must have" toys of the past.
"Atari Pong (1975): Atari’s home version of the early arcade hit Pong included
digital on-screen scoring, something the crude non-computerized Magnavox Odyssey (their stiffest competition) couldn’t offer. The scoring system was based on a
single chip, also something that no other manufacturer had managed up to that
point. They struggled to find a distributor until Sears & Roebuck took a
risk and purchased 150,000 units for the Christmas 1975 season. They sold out."
