+
+Pong Doubles was an evolution over the original pong, as it enabled 4 players to play simultaneously. There are two players per team, each controlling its own paddle.
+
+Pong Doubles can also be played in two players mode only.
+
+Apparently, and for once, Pong Doubles was not the first of its kind. Tennis Tourney from Allied Leisure, released in august 1973, claims to be the first 4 players video game ever. It's the same game as Pong Doubles, but released 3 months before (Pong Doubles was annouced in october 1973).
