    Default Video Game Saga Interview with Mr. Ralph Baer

    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to let you all know that I recently interviewed Mr. Ralph Baer creator of the Magnavox Odyssey, the first home TV gaming system, as you all well know. It has been one of the greatest honors in my life and a dream come true to get to speak with the Father of Video Games (Or grandfather, depending on personal preference). Part 1 of our Interview with Mr. Ralph Baer is up on the front page of our site: www.videogamesaga.com Also, while you are on the site, be sure to check out a Magnavox Odyssey commercial courteous of Mr. Baer.

    Join us next week as we bring you Part 2 of our in-depth exclusive interview with the Father of Video Games, Mr. Ralph Baer. Stay tuned. Also, please feel free to share your thoughts on the legendary engineer that we can thank today for Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii.

    Jim, It's always been a dream to meet Ralph Baer, you are so lucky to meet him. If you EVER by any chance get to meet him again, let him know a gamer from the midwest said hi.

    I'll be sure to check out this interview as soon as I can, you are probably already aware of my dial-up situation.

    Thanks good man.
