In the 1970's Atari had wanted to make money by creating game ideas, and licensing them to other companies. One man they hired for this purpose was a man named Allan Alcorn, who was an electrical engineer and computer science graduate, but had no experience specifically working with games. Unknown to Alcorn, Atari had assigned him a mere training exercise to create a simple game. The game he created was the classic Pong.
