The original cabinet has wood sides, a flat top, and yellow wood in front of monitor. The word "PONG" is displayed in large black stylized letters above monitor (TV) glass. The instructions are as follows: "Insert Coin. Avoid Missing Ball for High Score."


The first (prototype) cabinet was black and red and it had a cardboard bezel which hid a small, black & white Hitachi TV. It was placed in Andy Capp's Tavern where it sat on a barrel (it was small enough to fit on a table).
