Icons: Ralph Baer - S04E06 - Full Documentary

Icons is a documentary series that gives viewers the total run-down on the world of video games. The series provides in-depth coverage on topics ranging from behind-the-scenes looks at game developers, to profiles of industry giants and notorious figures in gaming, to a retrospective on the history of famous games.

Contrary to what you might have been led to believe by fanboys, the father of video gaming is not Shigeru Miyamoto, Will Wright, or even Nolan Bushnell. And it certainly isn't Bill Gates. What you may not know is that the technology that enabled the creation of video games was patented by engineer Ralph Baer in 1968, four years before Pong was ever introduced to gamers worldwide. However, Baer had developed the concept much, much earlier.
