19. Read it!?! I lived it.
The quote from the article:

"In the early 1970’s, video arcade games gained commercial success for the first time. The American public was introduced to Pong, Tank, and other interactive video games which populated amusement parks, bars, and arcades."

Pong and Tank were the titles from the stand-alone arcade versions. When Pong and Tank were "ported" over to the 2600 console they became Video Olympics and Combat, respectively. I don't know why Atari didn't keep the names uniform between the arcade and 2600 versions, but there it is.

I've been an Atari addict since 1978 and a collector since 1997. I know of which I speak.
