Father of Video/Computer Gaming Dies: Ralph H. Baer - 1922-2014
#2
Most people would be more familiar with Miyamoto, but people that built the platform that those types stand on are just as important. He's not the ONLY father of video gaming, but he is one of them; I don't think the video gaming trend would have stuck if some of the more mainstream/popular creators/promoters hadn't been around, it would have been pretty much dead on arrival, you really need both types to make a successful industry. Still, most of these guys are getting old, Bushnell is 71, Miyamoto is in his 60s...but most of these guys are still making video games, so at least they are dedicated to the cause and actually enjoy it.
