![PONG-TRON [SEGA] -Arcade - (1973)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eFmBmvf34T4/mqdefault.jpg "PONG-TRON [SEGA] -Arcade - (1973)
Pong-Tron (ポントロン) is a 1973 discrete logic arcade game produced by Sega. It is a clone of Ataris 1972 game, Pong built specifically for Japanese audiences.
Pong-Tron differs very little from Ataris offering, however this release is significant as it stands as Segas first arcade game to incorporate a CRT monitor and thus be classed as a video game. Prior to Pong-Trons release, Sega had built its successes through electro-mechanical arcade games, pinball tables, slot machines and jukebox distribution.
Pong-Tron followed later in the year by the updated Pong-Tron II (and Hockey TV, another pseudo-Pong clone). The housing was also recycled for Balloon Gun. Segas main competitor at the time, Taito also released a similar Japanese clone in the form of Elepong, also in 1973.")

Name: EVR Race
Developer: Genyo Takeda
Company: Nintendo
Year: 1975
Simulation : Not Available. 10 player, simultaneous.
Platform: Arcade
EVR Race is an arcade videogame developed and manufactured by Nintendo, released in 1975. It was created by Genyo Takeda. It was a video-based race simulation system that utilized electronic video recording (EVR) moving image display technology.
Two versions of EVR Race were made: horse racing and car racing, depending on the tapes loaded into it. Players bet on which racer they thought would win and won if they were correct. Since the video was pre-recorded, there was very little interactivity. Cabinets were available for different numbers of players, from one up to ten.
The game was extremely complicated, so after the release, Nintendo had a hard time maintaining it and there were a lot of breakdowns. Due to their experience with EVR Race, Nintendo learned how difficult it was to maintain arcade games.
Comment: Nintendo first videogame, according to Nintendo.
