What game do you think is the most original?

[Alphavillain]

Chess moves sent by telegraph?

Yes, or maybe a game of backgammon played between King Philip V of Spain and Cortez. Or Sir Walter Raleigh en route to face the Armada exchanging draughts moves with Queen Liz.

I'm always irritated by this question. Partly because its a bit pointless, partly because it pops up constantly, but mostly because of the replys. I'm not sure most people understand what originality means.

Or maybe croquet, Alice in Wonderland rules...

Just folks taking creative advantage of a badly phrased question. Isn't it? G'on try to enjoy it!

Pong, because there was nothing like it.

Pong wasn't the first game. People in the militiary made a game that was similiar to Pong in the 50's.

They called it "radar".

Also Pong was based on table tennis.

This made me laugh.

Just because something existed before someone else made it, if nobody knew about it, then pong would indeed be an original concept. More importantly, I'm curious about this supposed precursor to pong. TO GOOGLE!

"lets not reply to anyone on the internet"

that would be original, as for your question, probably Tetris, nothing else like it at the time.
