| 3 | ''Quadrapong'' was a four-player version of ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'', released by Creator/{{Atari}} in 1974. It was the first arcade game with a cocktail cabinet; players stood around it, each defending one side of the screen. Each player started with four points; if the ball went through their goal they lost a point. When they were "out", their paddle and goal would disappear and be replaced by a solid wall. |
