Nesa Pong

Description

Shortly after Atari's Pong arcade game wowed American gamers, Mexican engineer Morris Behar designed, manufactured and distributed his own version of the game all across Latin America. The NESA (Novedades Electronicas, S.A.) Pong was so popular south of the border that Atari's Pong was also called "NESA-Pong" there. Behar had a business partner that managed the finances and took all of the company's money, ending any possibility of a continuation of units or even new systems by NESA. This particular unit was donated to the museum by Jose Behar, Morris' son.

Nesa Pong is a dedicated console playing three Pong variants. The games are Ping-Pong, Squash and Foosball. The games can be played with either two or one player.
