They sold one of those on eBay not too long ago.  It wasn't that syle though.  It was actually an upright barrel with the screen in the top.  I'm pretty sure it was a pong.

You mean this one (http://www.arcadeflyers.net/index.php?page=flyerdb&subpage=flyer&id=3303&image=1)? It seems Barrels were all the rage back in '72.

Yeah, I saw that one on ebay a couple weeks ago. The one in the flyer is a lot cooler IMO.

So THAT'S what Donkey Kong is throwing at Mario! I guess it was an inside joke over at Nintendo.
