I believe the year was 1973, the year I first discovered Pong. A date that would live in infamy for me.

Toru Iwatani (PacMan) and Alexey Pajitnov (Tetris) have a lot to answer for, too.

This is the kind of thing that happens when the workplace is dominated by men.

Anybody remember Magnavox Odyssey?

Kids lining up to play Pong on the display unit at Sears.
I remember that like it was yesterday.

Misspent evenings? Video games rock!

Greasy pizza and Frogger!

My introduction to computer gaming was Zork on the IBM VM machine. Never figured it out.

So many games, so little time.

What year did Trap Shoot (I think that’s the name) come out? There is still one in play at a local pizza Parlor...

Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One" is probably a good read for those who appreciate video game history.

The story contains the obligatory references blaming man-made climate change, overpopulation, evil capitalism, etc. as the causes of society's problems, but they're minimal. The book is much better than the movie.
