The Holy Pong
-------------

In the beginning was the word. And the word was Pong.

And behold, God did look upon Pong and saw that it was good.

And God set Pong upon the easiest level, and lo, His paddle, did strike the ball
not.

And God did taketh His own name in vain. Then God said,
"Let there be Asteroids." And there was.

And God did blast the little rocks like fish in a rain barrel
and deposited not any quarters, for He owned the machine.

Then behold, He invented so manv games that it could be called a plethora.
Tempest. Crystal Castles. Missle Command. And the joystick gave forth much joy.

On the next day, God did find the two player button, which He did pusheth.

But there was no one to play against, so God brought forth a young man in His
own image. And God did call him Tim.

And lo, God gotteth His butt kicked, for Tim was a teenager with high-tops and
good hand-eye coordination. And so God created a little sister to torment Tim
for all eternity.

And it came to pass that God got bored, having banished His only opponent. So He
rewrote all the games like Tempest 2000 onto CD-ROM, and pumpeth'd up the
colors and graphics for P.C. and createth'd new titles in abundance.

And God looked upon His creation and said,
"'Let this be called Atari Interactive." And it was good.
