Description

Greg McLemore, the International Arcade Museum director, was able to find and obtain an original Pong InABarrel in February, 2005. After it arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that it not only worked, but that it was serial 001. It was originally used on location in an arcade in Santa Clara, California.When we asked Nolan Bushnell the creator of Atari about it, he responded, We made about 20 wine barrel games and I am surprised you have one. We stopped because the wine barrels would come apart. They were probably in the first 200 units produced very early and before we moved production to the Martin Ave. location. They were after we were in regular production. I would guess February of 73.This game should not be confused with the later BarrelPong game, which was created by AtariSyzygy in conjunction with Hunter Electronics of Sydney, Australia for the Australian marketplace.

Pong In-A-Barrel was produced by Atari in 1973.
