The Ping-O-Tronic (stylized as ping • o • tronic) is a first-generation video game console produced by Zanussi an Italian furniture company, and released under the Sèleco brand in late 1974.[1][2] It was the first Italian video game console, excluding Magnavox Odyssey imports and clones.[2] It came in an orange and white plastic container with a paddles housing. The control logic is based on three 7400 chips. Usable games are only three similar ones: Pong, Squash/Solo and Automatic/Attract.[2][5] The last one was the only game that did not require players and was used by stores to demonstrate the system without having anyone play it.[3] There are several versions of this console, marked by the abbreviations PP-1 up to PP-10. Starting from the PP-5, there was a new slot to which an optical gun could be connected to play a new aiming game. This accessory was called Gun-O-Tronic.[2] The only other known consoles at the time which allowed the user to play target shooting games were the Magnavox Odyssey and Philips Tele-Spiel ES 2201.[5] On April 21, 1975, Zanussi obtained the license to implement Pong from Sanders Associates.[4] Play-O-TronicIn 1977, Zanussi produced and sold a new model of a Pong-like console Play-O-Tronic. Unlike the Ping-O-Tronic, which was built with discrete components, the Play-O-Tronic was built from a single AY-3-8500 chip.[5] The console was also sold in Germany by German mailorder company Quelle, who sold the console under the name UNIVERSUM TV Multi-Spiel.[11] A built-in power supply comes with the Multi-Spiel.[6] SalesZanussi was reported to have sold 21,514 units of the Play-O-Tronic from October 1, 1977 to December 31, 1977 and earned a total of 620,408,000 lire (US$127,782,334), of which 5.5%, 34,122,440 lire (US$7,028,028) went into rights to Sanders Associates.[4] As of 1983, around 1 million units of both the Ping-O-Tronic and Play-O-Tronic have been sold.[7] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Tristan|first=Donovan|authorlink=Donovan Tristan|year=2010|title=Replay, The History Of Video Games||publisher=Yellow Ant|ISBN=978-0-9565072-2-8|location=Lewes (Regno Unito)|chapter=Hardware Glossary}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=The Video Game Explosion: A History from PONG to Playstation and Beyond|last=J.
