Anyway, I've got (tennis) balls on the brain right now because the final "Grand Slam" tournament of the year, the US Open, is about to reach its climax. (Both the men's and women's semifinals are being played today, followed by the women's final tomorrow and the men's final on Monday.)
As such, I've also got tennis games on the brain--which is why I was immediately drawn to the following photo, taken by Clément Gault (aka designrecherche), when it appeared in the "Your Contacts" section of my Flickr homepage the other day.

Although I'd hardly describe the triptych (of sorts) as stunning, I quite like how it shows the progression from the first-ever tennis game, Pong, to the first somewhat-realistic one, Virtua Tennis.
