That is simply WONDERFULL!!!   :)
I am planning to build a replica with a 10" CRT and use this as core console...



Can I ask you all data, sketches, fonts, and logos in order to save as much time as I can?  :)

Really appreciated! :)


BR,

I can feel sarcasm...
Well... my question was legit.
If he still has sketches and logos it will save me time. Otherwise I will try to recreate them from scratch.

Usually, I am sharing stuff I have previously done, if asked. Therefore I am asking as well. Because not all people is sarcastic to newcomers, like you  ;D

besides the info in this thread, i only have these 2 vector files here:

pong control panel and coinslot.pdf

pong bezel.pdf

you can open those with illustrator or something and use the words from there.

I created the word pong from scratch, dont know if there is a font for it.

The old atari logo is made with the font "busorama"

The first pages of the thread have some pictures with measurements from a actual pong machine and i just scaled them down.

Well, first of all it is much appreciated that people first introduce themselves to this wonderful forum :)

Second, Etienne _has_ shared as much as you can dream of in this thread, you just need to read it.

Just MHO and don't take things too seriously, I'm just the general asshole here now and then, but in real life I'm......well I'll leave that to others to say  ;D ;D ;D

I know I'm waaaaaay late to this project, but I did a Pong of my own a few years back.

Based on the very first one that was at Andy Capp's bar.
