By December 1966, he and a technician created a prototype that allowed a player to move a line across the screen. After a demonstration to the company's director of research and development, some...

The 1970s marked the beginning of home video gaming as we know it today. Ralph Baer, uniformly known as the father of the video game console, created and developed the infamous Brown Box, which would later become the revolutionary Magnavox Odyssey.
Soon afterwards, the Magnavox Odyssey was released in 1972, the first of the video game consoles. The first generation of video game consoles were so archaic compared to what we enjoy today. Perhaps the most distinct feature of the first gen was that these consoles were “dedicated consoles”.
