Father of Video Games turning 60
Bill Kendrick writes "Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and the "father of video games" will be turning 60 next week, on February 5th. Along with Atari, which Bushnell began in 1972 (and left before the end of the decade), he also founded over 20 other companies, including Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theater restaurants. He holds many patents relating to both video games and other industries. For more on The Bringer of Pong, check out some interviews from the San Jose Mercury, Metroactive and over at Good Deal Games, as well as his Wikipedia entry. Happy birthday, Nolan!" -

The Future Is The Past: New Sega CD Games
BenT of PlanetDreamcast writes: "The Sega CD is very, very dead. Or... is it? Michael Thomasson of Good Deal Games thinks the old add-on might have some life in it yet, and he's backing up such claims with some action: his company has released two brand new, never-before-seen Sega CD games! We talked with Michael about these games and a whole lot more, and it makes for an interesting look at the fringe of the console game publishing world." Fringe, indeed. Can someone please make some new games for my Atari 2600, too? ;)
