    The grandfather of electronic gaming, Nolan Bushnell, the inventor of Pong. We have him and John Romero to thank for video games. If it wasn't for John Romero giving out the code and dev tools for DOOM to everyone, those people wouldn't have been able to mod DOOM and first person games wouldn't have existed. Just wonderful how ideas start.

    What a pile of marketing nonsense.
    Atari started something great then descended into unthinking greed as they realised that nobody in business cared what they made.
    They fell from grace HARD and shot the industry to the core for some years after.
    They have never risen to any meaningful level of relevance since... nostalgia is all they have going for them and, as you see here, new blood rides the coattails of its legacy that many have almost forgotten... if they ever even knew what it TRULY was.

      Show some respect for Nolan Bushnell. There wouldn't be a video game industry today without the efforts of him, Ted Dabney, and Al Alcorn. It certainly wouldn't have spawned from the dud that was the Magnavox Odyssey.

    • @ytgadfly
      @ytgadfly 2 роки тому

      Bushnell had left the corp even before the 2600 came out. He really didnt have much to do with the Atari most people think of. He founded the company and was in it during the coin op days, but all the hope gaming and computers had nothing to do with him. He was busy starting Chucky Cheese. Seems weird to interview him and act like he is the face of Atari

    • @MicklowFilms
      @MicklowFilms 2 роки тому

      There was a time when Nintendo had no meaningful relevance either. You are just a jealous loser. Just shut up already. Atari literally birthed the gaming industry that we have today. They still deserve some recognition.

    •  2 роки тому +5

      You simplify the topic very much. :( As usual in life, it's not as easy as it seems.
      Above all, Atari has become the starting point for many other companies and projects. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs worked at Atari, some of the largest video game companies were born thanks to the people who left Atari and started these companies. Without the developers of the Atari BCS / 2600, and then the Atari 400/800 and the XL series ... there would be no Commodore Amiga! Moreover, without Atari, you wouldn't be using USB today (as the USB creator himself admitted, it is the successor of the Atari SIO project). So it is not the most important what the company itself has achieved as a creator and supplier of products, the most important are the ideas that arose at Atari and changed our world, not necessarily under the original banner. Atari is simply a piece of modern technology history and therefore deserves respect.
