Epoch Electrotennis - MIB - Display Only

A grand centrepiece to any serious Pong collection for reasons both aesthetic and historical. The Epoch Electrotennis was the first computer game designed and built solely in Japan. It dominates it's puny brethren through sheer size and audacity of design; measuring almost two feet across and sporting resplendent bright orange livery: it wouldn't look out of place on the set of Barbarella. Also noted for making the first use of wireless technology in a console; this example comes complete in it's original rather non-descript packaging with inserts, antenna and instruction manual. Pong machines don't come any better than this.
