What a fun article. We got one of the first Pong home games back in the early 70’s. Even though I was in the middle of it shortly after, I had never heard these stories. What a great find and a wonderful interview. I will be getting his book.

Excellent work Burbie. This is a wonderful interview! I think you were the perfect person to handle something of this weight. To get such a influential member of history between out pages is humbling. Just think.. someday HSM might be included in a works cited list! LOL

The first time I ever saw a video game, I was on board a cruise ship in the Caribbean with my young son -- it was 1974 -- and in the lounge was a table with what looked like a glass top. Under the glass was a light that bounced back and forth -- and it was a game! You could control the ball of light. We were transfixed. I knew this was the beginning. It was Pong! Now, my son is 40 years old with a young son of his own -- teaching him to play video games. Thank you, Mr. Baer. The family that plays together, stays together.

WOW HSM has done it again! Awesome issue yall!
That is so cool that you got to talk to Mr. Baer Burbie. Great interview!

I was completely surprised when I turned the page after reading the that interview to find out what was next. I am truly honored to be a part of this.

TY HSM! MMMMUUUAH!

The Wonderful thing about Burbie is that in talking to her on Skype on the subject of this interview, (we have both kept this secret from the general public at large) was that she was completely oblivious to how big a deal this was. Im barely able to sip on my cola, my exact words to her was this..

“Do you not even know how BIG this is?.. this is like talking to GOD”

Whew I am glad the cat’s out of the bag finally. It is hard to keep a secret in Home for over 2 months, lol.
I had a wonderful time talking to Mr. Baer, he is a true gentleman and a very intelligent and busy man. I was floored when he said yes to my inquiry about doing this interview, and amazed and humbled by the man in general. I can only hope I am this on top of things when I reach 89 years old.
