Play the Video Game

Source: princeofpersia.wikia.com Ralph H. Baer is a cult hero among the video game fans- the reason being that he was the first to devise the video game console in 1972. He had invented a machine in 1968 which he called ‘Brown Box’ and the next year he signed a contract with Magnavox- a television company. In August, 1972, the Magnavox Odyssey console was released. Initially, twelve games were available. Then in 1978, Odyssey 2 was released which gained huge fans. And after that, rest is history, as consoles became more and more interactive, the video gaming business turned into a multibillion dollar one.
