50 years ago, Atari released the original Pong as an arcade game. To mark the anniversary, Atari co-founder and Pong designer Allan Alcorn spoke with NPR to reflect on the game's development.

While heading to the arcade might be a thing of the past, it was once the biggest thing in gaming. And here's where it all started.

Atari sold more than 8,000 Pong arcade cabinets, and a few years later, the home version would become an instant success, selling about 150,000 units of a console that played nothing but Pong.

"Pong" quickly became the first commercially successful game, which led to the major rise of the arcade gaming industry in the 1970s, which Atari would dominate until the early '80s.

After funding and then manufacturing difficulties, Pong as an arcade style game was finally released and was wildly successful, earning an unprecedented $35-$45 per day, per machine.
