He did write the code for Pong. That was his version of the game. The idea
for Pong was created by someone 30 years earlier. A prototype was working
by the early 60's, and he saw it at a trade show, if I remember correctly.
I'll dig out my stuff and post the inventors name and pertinent details.
Nolan used someone else's idea. That is why he was sued and paid royalties.
