    Apparently, Pong is 35 years old today. Videogaming is officially middle-aged.

    I'm glad I'm not old enough to remember when it was born/created. :D

    35 is NOT middle-aged!

    P.S. And why do things always turn out to be invented years before you remember them actually being in the shops?

    Something I've often wondered myself.

    Because after invention they need to be fine-tuned, tested, fine-tuned some more, re-tested, distributed to test-markets, mass-marketed and then distributed to the stores we actually go to. It's not a short process.
