I have 3 antique 1gal mason jars filled with my hard won pre-1970 marbles, all sizes, painted, clearsies, croakers, cats eyes, with a few clay and ball bearings thrown in. Unfortunately, destined for eBay or a yard sale one of these days. They made for a pretty decoration over the last ~55 years.

Pong was fun, there were different levels with 2 modes. You could have a wide paddle or a skinny paddle, and the ball speed had at least 2 settings. I don't remember much more than that.

I've got an old home made non electric pinball machine my dad made when he was a teenager circa late 1940s (I'm sure he had help from my grandfather). Picture a wooden rectangular frame with a piece of plywood mounted inside of it at a slight angle so a ball would roll from the back to the front due to gravity. U shaped pockets were formed with finish nails to capture the balls (marbles). It has a plunger and starting gate to launch the balls. I had a lot of fun with that when I was a kid.
