Todays the computer games are categorized to strategy games, simulator games, war games, race games, puzzling ones and fun games. And the games list start from the old grandfather pong (The first game) to nintendo wi and its continuing.
This time I would like to tell about the Father of Computer Entertainment. Nolan Bushnell.In his interview with Tenaya Scheinman he told that the spark was ignited in Mrs. Cook's 3rd grade class when he was assigned to do the unit on electricity and got to play with the science box. He worked in an amusement park as a teenager.
He was a very curious man who told that the other mentors throughout his education or life that helped him are :
“A fellow who was a ham radio operator down the street who taught me a lot about radios and electronics. I had my boss at the amusement park who taught me a tremendous amount about business. I had Dr. Evans at the University of Utah, who taught me a lot about computer graphics at a very early age. “
He founded the famous game entertainment company Atari in 1972 - still entertaining people all over the world with different games. He sold Atari in 1976 for $28 million.and the following year opened the first Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant, which combines fast food and electronic games and amusements. He sold that, too, and since has been involved in several projects and start-ups.
Next post gives you a nice, brief description of Nolan Bushnell and more pictures of the first pong. .wait for it.
