It is one of the nine 2600 launch titles Atari, Inc. published when the 2600 system was released in September 1977.

The cartridge is a collection of games from Atari's popular arcade Pong series.

A similar collection in arcade machine form called Tournament Table was published by Atari in 1978.

[4]: 33  A more thorough review appeared in Video's "Arcade Alley" column in the Summer 1979 issue where the release was generally praised for "tak[ing] Atari's Pong concept and explor[ing] it to the limit."

Individual games were singled out as well, with praise for Volleyball and Robot Pong (described as "astonishingly good"), and criticism for Handball (for its use of a visually disturbing blinking paddle rather than an absent paddle to indicate inactive players), and Basketball (described as primitive compared to Atari's own 1978 version of Basketball).
