I've eaten at this place. The food is overpriced and mediocre. The menu system is pretty neat though. I give it 18 months before they shut it down and put a Islands Burger there.

What's Simon?

Umm... even the Japanese know what Simon is. And Baer did win a technology award from Bush and won Spike TV's VGA's, and Bushnell didn't get a damn thing.

Pity.

Nobody uses Baer's stuff? He developed the technology for the Magnavox Odyssey. I guess no one ever used/played Simon either.

Nope. Nobody uses Baer's stuff. Except, well...Bushnell.

What a pillock.

Bushnell is a jackass. Ralph Baer invented Pong and Bushnell stole it. Strange that I'd still be upset by this but there you have it.

Bushnell says, "Baer's ideas never sold, nobody uses his stuff. So I say to him, I say, 'I've got a business decision for you: Get out of my face.' And the we had to license the rest of his work."

I guess it's safe to say that Bushnell isn't a happy drunk?

I was a huge fan of "Simon." I used it a lot.

@derrickgott007:

I think that's all in your head, saying a one positive comment about XBLA, doesn't make him a "Microsoft Robot". He is more of a Sony hater. Another thing, he doesn't fit the "dick" profile either.

(That was the first of four segments with Nolan Bushnell by the way.)

I think Bushnell and Baer need to settle this in the ring. Bushnell could be accompanied by Chuck E. Cheese, while Baer would come out to the sounds of a game of Simon.

Props to the bartender for a Mojito, of any kind...assuming they actually ground the mint and didn't just use some cheapo mix.

Yea, smack talking Baer like that is pretty crass. It's saying that he had good ideas, but because he didn't have them in a final, marketable state, he doesn't deserve due credit. Respect for Bushnell: -5 points

I do think he seems a bit liquored up though, so:
respect for Bushnell: +0.5 pity points
