The graphics in Pong are so solid. It's a great game no matter what.

Pong wasn't the first video game ever.
That would be Spacewar! which was relased in 1954.

No, Pong was first. Pong didn't need graphics. It was just.... pong.

The Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device was the first video game EVER! Here's the Wikipedia entry.

It used analog circuitry, not digital, to control the CRT beam and position a dot on the screen. Screen overlays were used for targets since graphics could not be drawn at the time.

Pong was the eleventh game ever made. "Spacewar!" was seventh.
