The “father of video games’” home office is now on display at The National Museum Of American History. The museum rebuilt (actually rebuilt, not recreated) Ralph Baer’s workshop as a “landmark” for its new innovation wing. Check it out if you’re in the Washington, D.C. area!

Here's an interesting short feature on the father of video games, Ralph Baer.

Ralph Baer basically invented video games. During the 1960s, when television itself was still fairly newfangled, he was piecing together how the first video game console, launched in 1972, could work.

If you care about the history of video games, at all, and would like to hear from one of the founding fathers of the medium (who is, remember, a total badass), then please, watch this video interview with Ralph Baer.

While Nintendo was a pioneer of video game light guns, first for its elaborate shooting parlours and then its Zapper for the NES, it didn't create the first home version of the technology.

Ralph Baer is widely acknowledged to be the "father of video games", thanks to his work in the 1960's pioneering the device that would become the Magnavox Odyssey, the world's first ever video game console.

Playing the Revolution is an upcoming documentary series by Italian outfit Junk Food, which chronicles "the Spacewar! milestone to the rise of the 16-bit era".

The man who invented home video games may have known more about real guns than any other game creator in history. But, he tells Kotaku, that's not why the first game console had a gun.

The International Video Games Hall of Fame inducts its first class in August. Located in Ottumwa, Iowa, known for its ties to the gaming's early arcade days, the Hall will enshrine more twice as many high score champions as developers.

Thank you.
