Moving a Point of Light

Wow, another great, in-depth review, Mezrabad. I think you're quickly becoming the world's foremost expert on this lineup. One question, though. Am I correct in assuming that basically all the Odyssey does is allow players to move points of light around on the screen? Does this mean there's no PONG type game built in to the Odyssey? I'm a bit confused about what the actual hardware can do.
