Trackballs have appeared in computer and video games, particularly early arcade games (see a "List of trackball arcade games") notably Atari's "Centipede" and "Missile Command" – though Atari spelled it "trak-ball". "Football", by Atari, released in 1978, is commonly misunderstood to be the first arcade game to use a trackball, but in "The Ultimate History of Video Games" by Steven L. Kent the designer of "Football", Dave Stubben, claims they copied the design from a Japanese game, Soccer (Taito, 1973). Console trackballs, now fairly rare, were common in the early 1980s: the Atari 2600 and 5200 consoles, as well as the competing ColecoVision console, though using a joystick as their standard controller, each had one as an optional peripheral. The Apple Pippin, a console introduced in 1996, had a trackball built into its gamepad as standard. Trackballs were occasionally used in e-sports prior to the mainstreaming of optical mice in the early 2000s because they were more reliable than ball mice, but now they are extremely rare because optical mice offer superior speed and precision. Trackballs remain in use in pub golf machines (such as Golden Tee) to simulate swinging the club.
