Game Apparatus Utilizing a Display Screen

Filed March 4th, 1974

No, those aren’t astonishingly realistic computer graphics for 1974–this patent is for an essentially mechanical Pong-like game that involves projecting a beam of light onto a translucent screen to simulate a moving ball, so I presume that those two tennis players wouldn’t have moved. I’m not sure if this game, designed by legendary toy creators Marvin Glass and Associates, was ever produced.
