The APF TV Fun, with its many variations, became a staple in households around the globe after its initial release in 1976. The console supported two players and its buttonless controls were as easy to use as turning the volume up or down on a radio. The system featured Tennis, Football, Squash, and Single Handball variations of the classic video game known as Pong (digital Table Tennis). The TV Fun had extremely limited settings, and supported no external games or controllers.
