Now all we need is Lord British (Richard Garriott) to round out the history of the beginnings of the best entertainment in the world: the electronic game!

It’s nice to read about the person who pioneered social gaming. My family owned a Pong and an Atari 2600. I would love to play my Atari again, although I am sure the graphics would look funny. Thanks again, for a great article!

Things have come a long way; been gaming ever since. Thanks Mr. Bushnell!

Yay, Mr. Bushnell!
And lets tip a hat to Ralph Baer as well..
“What I had in mind at the time was to develop a small “game box” that would do neat things and cost, perhaps, twenty-five dollars at retail.” (http://ralphbaer.com/)

I never knew how Pong was invented or by who I just knew that my Dad loved games and he instilled that love in his kids, and because of that I had a Pong and Atari 2600 and so on. I have, like keara, been playing video games all of my life and will continue to do so. It is good to hear from whence all this came.
