Amusement Magazine has posted this superb series of photographs by Marc Da Cunha Lopes depicting the workshops and factories that create iconic video game imagery: Made of Myth. Shown here: the Pong factory.

It took the Reynolds Metals Company three months to manufacture the 140,000 raquets and 440,000 digits Nolan Bushnell had ordered, plus an extra two weeks to transport the merchandise from Kentucky to California. Completed in 1972, this memorable job brought about the rebirth of Louisville’s metallurgic industry.

Also included: Tetris, Mario Bros., Sonic, and Arkanoid.
