- 1:12con il direttore Massimo Lualdi che introduce
- 1:18l 'argomento odierno. What are we talking about
- 1:20today? Electronic games. Very expensive but extremely
- 1:23fashionable, the Pingotronic was the most ambitious
- 1:27Christmas gift in 1974. It was a first -generation
- 1:36video game console produced by Zanussi in Pordenone
- 1:38and released with the Selico brand in late 1974.
- 1:42Pingotronic was inspired by the 1972 Atari ping
- 1:46-pong simulator from the extremely simplified
- 1:49graphics in black and white. In turn, Pong evolved
- 1:52from Odyssey, a ping -pong video game created
- 1:56on a 1966 project by the future founder of Atari,
- 2:00Nolan Bushnell, for the Sanders. Associates,
- 2:03which would have marketed it since 1971, so much
- 2:07so that Zanussi gave the royalties for the sales
- 2:11to the latter. PingoTronic was the first Italian
- 2:19production console to be sold for 249 ,000 lire,
- 2:22when an average salary of an employee was around
- 2:25120 ,000 lire and that of an employee reached
- 2:28150 ,000 lire. Zanussi declared to have sold
- 2:3221 ,514 units in the months of October, November
- 2:35and December 1974. The PingoTronic was enclosed
- 2:39in a white orange plastic container, equipped
- 2:42with an accommodation for the two white paddles
- 2:45and equipped with a button. The logic of control
- 2:47was based on three 7400 chips that offered the
- 2:50possibility of three similar games between them.
- 2:53We are talking about Pong to two players of Squash,
- 2:55a single player, and a demo mode where the console
- 2:59played with itself. There were numerous versions
- 3:02of this console, counterpointed by the PP1 to
- 3:05the PP10, even if the differences were only evolutionary
- 3:09of the unnoticeable electronics from the player,
- 3:11except for the fact that a new slot was introduced
- 3:16from the PP5 could connect an electronic rifle,
- 3:18the gun or tronic, for the aim game. In addition
- 3:24to Pingotronic, there were at the time other
- 3:26consoles similar to Pong of Italian original
- 3:29production. They were the M2000 of the Cable
- 3:31Electronical, the Reel Jockey TV of the Reel
