Ralph Baer - The Father of Videogames?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the credit-where-credit-is-due dept.

mcgeek writes "Lauren Gonzalez interviews Ralph Baer, co-creator of Odyssey over at the High Times website. Is he the 'father of videogames?' An interesting detailed interview, with comments on graphics versus game play, patents, Odyssey, the arcade business mafia, Ping-Pong, and the games of today." Mr. Baer seems to be all over the place lately.
