We lost a great man today Ralph Baer the father of Video games has passed away at the age of 92. RIP Ralph you were an inspiration to us all. http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/7/7349715/ralph-baer-father-of-video-games-dies-at-92
RIP - I wonder how proud he was of his legacy needing ridiculous amounts of computing power before he died, must have been amazing watching it grow into what we have today from a couple of lines and a bouncing dot!
RIP. This is sad news indeed. I don't want to imagine what the gaming world would be like today if this man never existed.
