Pong is test-marketed in Andy Capps, a local bar. Within two weeks the test unit breaks down because the coin drop is flooded with quarters. Pong is a success. People are led to believe the console will only work with Magnavox televisions. Still, Magnavox manages to sell 100,000 units.
Many people buy it because it is the closest thing they can get to a home version of Pong.
