  That was more a parody of the Atari 2600 (1977). While it had very blocky graphics, the sorts of games it could play (crude versions of arcade games of the time) seems more like what this is parodying rather than Pong-like games.

    To take that full circle, though: the hardware capabilities of the 2600 were designed as a generalization of earlier "hard-wired" consoles. Support for graphical features like a "ball" and "player" paddles was built into the TIA chip, and it was by creatively manipulating these features that later games like Pitfall were able to produce (relatively) sophisticated graphics.

    I just had to look up the specs for an Atari 2600 (which I played as a kid back in the 80s. I feel. old) 128 Bytes of RAM. Makes a microbit: look roomy.
