Sweet. Ralph's the man. He's like Dr. Light or something.
It's good to see old Ralphy getting more recognition.

He still lives in NH? Neat.
Ralph Baer for President.
nice but i won't be happy until he gets his PROPER recognition.
Sorry, but Nolan is way too integrated into history books for that to happen.Originally Posted by Dragonmaster Dyne
Pretty much every gaming history book written in the '90s/'00s mentions Baer at least. Sadly, most gamers probably don't recognize either name let alone other early pioneers.Originally Posted by Zerodash
I definitely recommend Baer's book Videogames: In the Beginning.

A few things wrong with this post:Originally Posted by Zerodash
1. Bushnell deserves all the credit he gets, but especially on the business end of it.
2. What history books? There's plenty more to be written about the game industry.
Good on him. I'm glad.
I agree with diff. Nolan did some amazing stuff, and shouldn't be overlooked.
Howeevr I don't have any problem seeing a Videogame History. The "industry" at least 20 years old.
