Trivia:
1) The game was never meant for commercial use. “Tennis for Two” was a science experiment, created by William Higinbotham for the annual visitor’s day at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton,
N.Y. His aim wasn’t to kick off the multibillion-dollar game industry — he just wanted to “liven up the place” with his invention. As he wrote, “convey the message that our scientific endeavors
have relevance for society.” It worked. Hundreds of people lined up to play “Tennis for Two” on Oct. 18, 1958.
2) Game was considered lost, until in 1997 a team at Brookhaven recreated the game for Brookhaven's 50th anniversary.
3) Game is not emulated (but true to original version for Android OS exist)
