Schon bei Veröffentlichung von Pong überlegte Atari-Chef Bushnell, wie man das Spiel auch noch an andere Zielgruppen als Spielhallen- oder Kneipenbesucher verkaufen könnte. Daraus entstanden Puppy Pong und Dr. Pong. Ebenso wie Dr. Pong ist das Spielen hier kostenlos, es besitzt keinen Münzprüfer. Ein solcher kann aber nachgerüstet werden. Das Spiel wurde nur in einer sehr limitierten Stückzahl hergestellt. Zu diesem Arcadespiel, welches vorwiegend beispielsweise in Wartezimmern von Arztpraxen etc. aufgestellt werden sollte, gab es mehrere Zubehörteile: • PP-01: Volleyball-Erweiterung (hierbei handelt es sich um das Spiel Rebound) • PP-02: optionaler Münzapparat Der Titel des Spiels sollte zuerst Snoopy Pong lauten, allerdings erteilte der Rechteinhaber der Peanuts-Comics Atari dazu keine Lizenz. |
