That would be Pong...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz Pong was releaqsed in 1972
@glennlab Pong was a ripoff of a game included in the Magnavox Odyssey system [en.wikipedia.org] which was starting development in 1966 and released in 1972. Atari was sued for copyright infringement when their game hit the market. I wish I still owned the home version or better yet the arcade version as well as they are both worth a small fortune to collectors today... It was ready for market and offered to several manufacturers in 1969 when Magnavox agreed to manufacture it and released it on the market in 1971. Some disagreement on weather Atari developed it independently or just "borrowed" the programming for the game as everything was analog back then it would have been difficult to figure out. But given that the date of the patents and the games being so close in operation and design including controllers Atari eventually lost the lawsuit.
STILL one of my all time favorites - the tune, the video, and the band.

I love how people that weren't even alive when it happened don't realize what tech was available in 1969. All animation had to be hand painted/drawn in 69, that was the extent of the tech we had. Most cartoons did not have moving backgrounds, because it was too expensive and even then it took hundreds of artists 6 months to do a 10 minute cartoon.

Disney did animation in color since 1939 and the lunar landing was July 20, 1969.
