A sad day for video gaming with the passing of Ralph Baer at the age of 92. His name may not be a familiar one to many people outside of the gaming industry, but if you like gaming, you have ‘The Father of Video Games" to thank for your gaming enjoyment.
Baer developed the very first console video game system, originally known as the Brown Box, but later licensed and sold as 1972's Magnavox Odyssey, which laid the foundation for video games as we know them today.
