I can bet that most of you are thinking who? But if it wasn't for him, they might not be playstation and xboxes. He was known as The Father of Video Games.

Baer developed the very first console video game system, originally known as the Brown Box, but later licensed and sold as 1972's Magnavox Odyssey, which laid the foundation for video games as we know them today.

No you're right I hadn't heard of him.

I did see Clive Sinclair in the news recently...gosh he's aged but certainly a pioneer in that field too.
