Description
After decades in the toy and playing card industry Nintendo decided to venture into the gaming industry by making Pong Consoles, the first of these being the TV-Game 6 which features six variations of Pong and was one of the first Pong Machines available in Japan and required Nintendo to get a license from Magnavox and were cheaper than the Maganavox Odyssey and Atari Pong. A variant of the console was made in collaboration with a company called House Foods to promote their Shanmen instant noodles.
