This is the basic pong version built-in the Atari Ultra Pong Double dedicated system. It plays like the original pong except the background is in colour.

There is also a 4 player option, like the arcade game Pong Doubles, but in fact it plays differently. Here each player can move within a quarter of the playfield, wherease in Pong Doubles, each player can move the full vertical length.
