Summary
Особливості тогочасного ринку ігрових пристроїв дозволили багатьом фірмам крім Atari випускати власні Pong-подібні системи для домашнього використання. Наприклад, американська Atari VCS3, яка вийшла в 1977 р., не тільки не з’явилася на радянському ринку в якості оригіналу, що може бути пояснено складними відносинами між державами, але й не мала радянських аналогів-«клонів».Радянські консолі навіть у 80-ті рр. Хоча зі споживацької точки зору найбільш вигідним придбанням для відеоігор були подібні телевізійні приставки, «культура відеоігор» у Радянському Союзі пішла іншим шляхом.
