Arcade Game Appraisal

Atari Pong Arcade Table

This item is an Atari Pong arcade table, designed for multi-player interactive gaming. It consists of a roughly rectangular or square plinth-style base supporting a circular tabletop. The base appears to be constructed from wood or a similar composite material, finished in black with orange and yellow striped accents on two sides and a large 'PONG' logo in white lettering. The side facing the viewer features additional game titles and logos, including 'PONG', 'PONG DOUBLES', 'Superpong', 'Quadrapong', 'Video Olympics', and 'Combat', suggesting it might be a multi-game unit or a tribute to classic Atari titles. The tabletop is circular with a white playing surface featuring orange and black graphic elements, including stylized 'PONG' lettering. At the center of the tabletop is a recessed square screen, likely an LCD display, which appears to be illuminated and displaying graphics related to the game. Surrounding the screen are several control knobs or spinners, approximately eight in total, and what appear to be buttons or indicators, suggesting it can accommodate up to four players simultaneously (two per side for Pong Doubles or similar). The overall condition appears to be very good, with no visible significant wear, damage, or repairs. The colors are vibrant and the surfaces seem clean, indicating good maintenance or relatively recent manufacturing. The design evokes a modern retro aesthetic, typical of arcade games produced in the last decade that pay homage to classic titles. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clean finishes and well-integrated electronic components. It resembles officially licensed or high-quality replica arcade machines, rather than a homemade unit. Its clean lines and compact footprint make it suitable for home game rooms or commercial entertainment spaces.
