The arcade had pinball for competition.

For home units, everyone paid royalties to Magnavox (except Vectrex) because Magnavox had the patent on a very primitive Odyssey 100 that hooked up to the TV, so any electrinic game that hooked up to a TV paid Magnavox. Intel sued and lost.

I don’t think there was any competition it was the first video game for tv.

If by competition you mean opponent -:it was either human or computer opponent which was my case usually as my brother was a jock

I don’t remember the price would have,to google. Seems like $150:which was a lot back then especially for one simple console black and white BORiNG game
