Ralph Baer inducted into Inventors Hall of Fame

He was at Funspot a few years ago signing his book I got one
forgot the title off hand Ill look when I get home tonite.
A very interresting read on the history and evolution of his contributions and inventions
also some intertwines of Atari and who really had pong first.

Sounds like a great book. I will have to locate one.

They brought up the Atari connection in the Modern Marvels episode.

I feel like he did get screwed on the deal. Granted, Atari did add to the concept of the electronic ping-pong game but he implemented the concept first (based on the time line). Haven't looked into it beyond that. As the saying goes, "The pioneers take the arrows in the back".
