Odyssey: First Home Video Game
The Magnavox Odyssey is the first commercial home video game console. 1972
Odyssey came packaged with twelve different game modes, most of which were essentially just board games that used your TV as the board. But the main attraction was clearly ping pong, with the first three game modes being just variations on that, called Table Tennis, Tennis, and Hockey.
