The Gift

It is often suggested that early in the 'modern UFO era' a technology exchange took place with one or more extraterrestrial races. It is also thought that this could have been in return for an agreed number of human abductions. If humans did gain possession of alien technology and the knowledge of how to adapt it to our own uses it could have changed many aspects of our society... perhaps it already has.

For those of us who actually remember pong in its glory day...it was amazing technology.

Dude, I totally agree... Some of the earliest games, although they looked simple compared to what we have today were superb.

Well now thats a trip back in time! Remember when they started putting that game in the tables of pubs. I think Joe is on a winner with this, and what a very catchy name too! Reminds of something I heard this week, slipped my mind at the moment though.
Of course I guess you have to be kind of careful how you say 'i pong' to someone.
As always great comic Andy!

Not to knock Steve Jobs, but I think an iPong would have been much better received that the iPad. I'd love to get my hands on an iPong!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Nothing quite has the feeling of the original pong does it.

iPong, lol, brilliant...

It was Atari, Vic20 original, complete with the 2 potentiometers you had to turn to move the bar. Such great memories! Good O'le Days, but I wouldn't trade in my dual Quad core Xeon, unless for a pristine boxed unit to sell on E-bay in the future... :)
