In 1947, Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann each pitched in to create the very first video game ever. Like everything initially, it was a dinosaur). Later on, another developed OXO, which you can learn more Here!
In 1958, William Higinbotham released the very first interactive game. I bet some of you baby boomers can remember this-"Tennis for Two"(shown below).
In May, 1972 Ralph Baer launched the Brownbox. Which eventually became known as the Magnavox Odyssey. The first home game consul system even pre-dating Atari. The idea came to him while working with his colleagues in 1947(see at top).
In 2006, Mr. Bear was given a medal by President George W. Bush. In honor of his most pioneering work.
So there you have it. The grandfathers of the video game industry.
