    A ball-and-paddle game.

    TRIVIA
    Sometimes spelled as 'Volly'. It would be Ramtek's first arcade videogame.

    With the introduction of Pong, Ramtek jumped on the lucrative videogame bandwagon. Ramtek, in fact, got a look at the game before any of Atari's other competitors. Al Alcorn reports that not long after he'd placed the prototype Pong for test at Andy Capp's Tavern he noticed a group of 'customers' who came in every morning at 9 to play the game. This struck him as odd since most bars were empty at that early hour. When he asked owner Bill Gattis about it, Gattis told him they were engineers from Ramtek. Gattis was right. Tom Adams, a friend of Chuck McEwans's (he would later serve as Ramtek's vp of finance) had a small interest in Andy Capp's and after he and McEwan got a look at the game, McEwan was sure he could create something similar.

    It should be no surprise, then, that Ramtek started with a Pong clone called Volly. McEwan, however, was insistent that Ramtek didn't steal the game.

    [Chuck McEwan] Remember now, I knew Nolan Bushnell personally and he knew we were going into this venture right from the start. Ramtek didn't "steal" Pong…it was completely designed as its own game, meaning we didn't buy a Pong and knock it off part by part. Ramtek's Volly, which was our first piece, was a Volly, not a Pong as happened to Atari in so many other instances.
