    YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SOLDER TO PUT THIS KIT TOGETHER !!!!!
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2017*

If you are used to soldering, this kit will be a piece of cake. For some people this seems to have been a show stopper. You need to do some soldering to put this kit together.You only need to solder wires for 2 pots(potentiometers – variable resistor), battery box and the PCB which really is the entire game itself. The soldering took about 45 mins.The Game itself is whole seconds of fun. Not really like TV Pong. Since it is on a LED Matrix instead of a CRT TV.The original game just used a B&W TV set. Not really like Arcade Pong. But then probably not a commercially viable prospect to sell a kit which would have involved soldering 100’s of  TTL Logic chips into a huge PCB.  But then Atari’s Home Pong only involved a single custom chip.Pong is probably the most famous pre-microprocessor video game. This was not the first arcade game folks, that was Computer Space.  But that one was a flop.  Pong was the first successful arcade video game.Unlike the original 2 player only Pong Game, there are options to play against the computer. There is supposedly the option to get the game play itself. I have never managed to activate this. You need to remove the batteries to reset the game totally. The Number of player options only seem to appear when you do this.I have to say I think the scoring is crap. Unlike the original TV Pong game, you don’t get on screen scoring, which would have been possible even on a LED matrix, what you get is a crap line growing longer and longer on each side of the screen representing each player. This just seems to be lazy programming to me.You may need a bit of blue tac to keep the battery in place.The instructions are probably a bit better than the Haynes Radio Kit, in terms of how complete it is in telling you how to put it together.

Just as described and good fun to make and play. You will need to solder. We were missing the additional screen cover but I emailed the seller who sent a replacement straight away, excellent service.
