The Super PONG (model C-140) is a follow up to the orignal [Atari Pong (model C-100)](/museum/atari-pong-model-c-100/). Compared to its brother which could only play one game of pong, Super Pong offers 4 different pong games.
Like the C-100, the C-140 is based on an Atari pong-in-a-chip IC (C010073-01) which was revolutionnary for the time. The on-screen scoring as well was a feature scarcely found on other pong systems.
Like all first Atari pong systems, the C-140 was also sold by Sears. It was the same as Atari's model, but with detachable controllers, and a woodgrain style.
