Nope, it’s not this.

I think that the first concept of a video game was created by a curious scientist with an oscilloscope. However I thought as well that it was some kind of Pong, but without an opponent.

No and i’m looking for a video game . Though, this game has no image so that’s why i call it a electronic game (i give a huge hint).

I assume so, since there is "video" in videogame.
Maybe it would be the time to switch to another question?

Still, there is a basic electrical circuit that is often given in electrical engineering student classes, which is a reasoning game with 8-10 LEDs and push-buttons placed in circle. Each button is turning on/off a couple of the LEDs, and the goal is to have all the LEDs turned on at the same time.

What was this project and who was the compagny that worked with Sony ?

[Aaron]

Sony worked with Nintendo to make a project for the SNES for it to be able to play CDs.
