Pong gets all dressed up at German art exhibit

Ah, Pong. Not quite the first arcade game, it has still been an inspiration for whole generations of game players and creators. Now it's the focus of an exhibit being put on by Berlin's Computer Game Museum.

Pong.mythos
was created as "the world's first comprehensive overview of all relevant manifestations of a major founding myth of our digital society," according to their web site. To this end, they've collected various versions of Pong ranging from building-sized to penny-sized, using media such as cockroaches and sound, played on the floor, on a dress (pictured), on a bike, and more. Pretty cool, but we're still waiting for the solar-system sized version that uses Pluto as a ball and Mars and Earth as the paddles.
