I just got several old pong games that have the old uhf/vhf screw
connectors (I think they're called something like that) to connect to
the TV. My TV of course doesn't have those sorts of inputs. I need
something that converts that to composite so I can play these games on
my TV.

Hi,
I'm not 100% sure of what you're trying connect to what... so I
thought I'd toss this out...

If the video game uses standard antenna leads as output, and your TV
has a 75 ohm coaxial input, you could buy a matching transformer like
one of these...

Does this solution seem compatible with your equipment?

Alternatively, you could snap one of those matching transformers on to
an RF demodulator like this...

... and then attach the RF demodulator to your TV with RCA cables.

Do either of the two solutions seem like they'd be compatible with the
game and your TV?

Aha! I actually had one of those and didn't realize that that was what it was.

I guess the screw connectors are called antenna leads?

In any case, this will probably work, but it would be nice if I could
convert the coax into composite inputs. I only have one coax input on
my TV and I'd prefer not to split the already poor quality signal.

Is there a way to take a coax input and convert it to use a composite input on a tv?

I assume by composite you mean the red & yellow (& white if it's
stereo) RCA plugs.

That's a bit expensive, but, yes, it can be done.  What you'd need is
an RF demodulator, like the one on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=61395&item=5737647184&rd=1
Or this one:
"MONAURAL RF DEMODULATOR-CONVERTS RF (CABLE TV or ANTENNA SIGNAL) TO
COMPOSITE VIDEO & AUDIO SIGNALS $99.75"

Shall I post this information as the offical answer?

That's what I needed. Thanks! (go ahead and post answer)
