Hope some editor deletes that comment. I didn't realize the linked article was that old and was actually part of an archive. That's what I get for skipping the fine print at the end, huh? I still want to email my past-self, though. Whoops. Hope some editor deletes that comment. I didn't realize the linked article was that old and was actually part of an archive.

I still want to email my past-self, though.

What's the significance of December 14, 2007? Is this article that old? Are we communicating with the past...? I'll try sending an email to my past-self just as soon as PC World releases the software for me to download. O_O Did anyone notice the time/date stamps on the comments section?

We' like to use the photo of Ralph Baer in our display, but it will not be published - do you know who owns it?

It's nice to see someone of Nolan's stature reaffirm Willy's 'Tennis for Two' game as being the first, true video game (regardless of Baer's limited/antiquated definition). Great interview, Benj.

Gamasutra had a feature on the history of Atari with a promise of two more. Here's the first covering 1971-1977: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2000/the_history_of_atari_19711977.php Benj, I did read your article and it was quite good.

I wonder what would have happened if Bushnell didn't sell Atari. Does Activision spin-off? Would have the crash of 1983 happened? Would the Japanese dominate the business like they do now?

He was friendly about it. I'm still on good speaking terms with him and have talked to him many, many times since. He's been a huge help with a number of projects. So no Baer-bashing (or Bushnell bashing for that matter), ok? Whoa, there, Kitsune. :) Nah, Baer wasn't pissy. He was friendly about it.
