Ralph Baer and His Awesome Invention

Series: Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies

By Edwin Brit Wyckoff

One day, a television engineer named Ralph Baer began to wonder whether our TVs would be able to play games with us.

Bush as the father of video games, Baer is still at work developing new ideas.
