Sadly, just heard that Ralph Baer has passed away.
Here's a 2010 YouTube video showing what a great guy he was and what he did for the video games industry.

Damn, sad to hear indeed.
Baer did quite a bit for gaming and all gamers, young and old, owe him a severe debt of gratitude.

I'll miss Ralph. I had the good fortune to talk with him a few times. Always entertaining, informative, and relevant. Glad to have know him in the small ways I did.

That's very unfortunate to hear. I think he would've been proud to know how he impacted so many generations of people in a positive way. My heartfelt condolences to his family--but, as the "father of video games," he was a little like family to all of us.  |
