Congratulations, they created something that was sold in the 1970s (note it isn't a real tv, it's just shaped like one. The game was electromechanical. The ball was surrounded by a spring coil so it would bounce off paddles on the sides. The ball would also fall slowly under gravity, so that made the game a little less predictable than video pong.)

Also, isn't analog pong just good old ping-pong?

This is very cool. I'm amazed that they did the whole thing in about 100 relays.
