Father of Video Games turning 60

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday January 30, 2003 @01:05PM from the looking-to-the-past dept.

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!"

Nobody said that the inventor of Pong was Bushnell. Why don't you try reading the article first next time. Mod parent down, please.
