Pong-Tron (ポントロン) is a 1973 discrete logic arcade game produced by Sega. It is a clone of Atari's 1972 game, Pong built specifically for Japanese audiences.
Pong-Tron differs very little from Atari's offering, however this release is significant as it stands as Sega's first arcade game to incorporate a CRT monitor and thus be classed as a "video game". Prior to Pong-Tron's release, Sega had built its successes through electro-mechanical arcade games, pinball tables, slot machines and jukebox distribution.
Pong-Tron followed later in the year by the updated Pong-Tron II (and Hockey TV, another pseudo-Pong clone). The housing was also recycled for Balloon Gun. Sega's main competitor at the time, Taito, also released a similar Japanese clone in the form of Elepong, also in 1973.
