In more detail: ''Pong'', developed by Nolan Bushnell (who would later create the [[Suck E. Cheese's|Chuck E. Cheese]] franchise<ref>Oh, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and some company called]] [[Atari]]</ref>), is one of the oldest video games. It dates from 1972, making it [[Older Than the NES|Older Than The]] [[Apple II]]. The company that was founded to publish it, [[Atari]], became synonymous with video games for years afterwards. It was also packed with many first-generation consoles, and Atari made a separate console that only played the game.
