Call me crazy but when a product is advertised as the arcade version of Pong, I expect the arcade version of Pong. At least if I were a typical uneducated consumer.

I don't think the arcade version of pong, is the arcade version of pong, and i've played it.
Does it have the same analog distortion in the sound? Do the controls show the same variable tension
in the spinners on every machine. There was wide variation on all the pong atari versions, and numerous clones I ever played.
So, no, going by some Arcade 'standard' pong, was pretty much undoable, even when they were in the arcades.

You've always got an answer, even if it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Of course clone versions of pong aren't like the original.... because they are clones. Re-creating the original arcade version of pong is quite easy as the original schematics are available and even better someone took the crusty old 1974 schematics, cleaned them up and converted them into 16 easy to read circuits.
Here you go.... pong:

As they have the rights to the game they also have the rights to the circuit.... make this and you have pong. Of course they didn't do that because they had to cram a bunch of other games in there which is fine, but then don't make pong teh advertised game when the real pong isn't even on it.
