The site has a rarity guide. It rates Ultra Pong as Very Common.

Atari Pong has been a hot item on eBay for the last couple of months. Some have sold for a lot more than in the past. Now might be a good time to sell some of your systems if you decide that you don't need or want to have that many systems.

Only Ultra Pong Doubles came with 4 controllers. Ultra Pong should only come with 2.

Are any of these pong systems hard to connect to a modern system? In other words, would modifications need to be made in order for it to connect to a modern system or does it connect like my 7800 system with a $3 connector from Rat Shack?

Yes, the only ones you'll have to modify the connectors for are the Odyssey pong units (100, 200, 300, 400, etc.) Magnavox chose to use a larger than normal RF connector which will not plug in to the standard RF boxes.

Hey guys! I'm new to the pong scene so bare with me.I wanna buy a pong system but i can't decide which to get. Can someone point me to a site that has a screenshot for every pong system. I'm thinking between Pong and Super Pong, but since Super pong has 4 games i wanna see screenshots. Can anyone help me out?

And one more thing. Is it possible at all to use RCA jacks with these systems?
