You mean those knobs you turn around to move as your control stick, before the joystick became a staple in the Game Industry? If so, then that's the Magnavox Odyssey, or The Brown Box. It's one of the first consoles to be created (I'm pretty sure it is, Fairchild Channel F came later). Odyssey did have a game of PONG and such, so this must be what you are speaking about.
