	''Flim Flam'' was a ''Pong'' type game released by Meadows Games in 1974. It was one of the most successful ''Pong'' clones of the later period because it focused its attention on the cocktail market, a relatively new cabinet style which broached video arcade games into establishments that would not normally take coin-operated games. On top of that, ''Flim Flam'' was fully featured with a computer opponent to play against, a handicap mode for less skilled players, and used joysticks instead of the more common potentiometers.
