I disagree about people being disappointed with Pong home systems. I think it was very clear what you were getting and at the time that was plenty, since there really wasn't anything more advanced until 1976 and even then you wouldn't see anything with notable potential until a year later. The market definitely became flooded with Pong systems and that caused a mini-market depression (sort of a light version of what would happen in '84), but the industry obviously righted itself.
I may pull it from the other book, but it will be important to talk about "Tennis for Two" and Ralph Baer's forebear that clearly influenced Bushnell. Other stuff too that would worth the pull.
I was kind of hoping you'd be working on Myst and King's Quest, as I'd be pretty hopeless on those, particularly the former.
