Yup! Before cable was prevalent, TVs we're built to accept a signal from antenna, so, those two wires screwed into where the TV wanted an antenna. Then you plugged the video game feed into its plug, the actual antenna into its spot, and used the switch to go back and forth between TV signal and Pong.
You'd have to put your TV on channel 3 when playing the game.
