Ralph H. Baer is considered the father of Video Games and he deserves credit for developing the first game 'the brown box' specifically designed for use with a television, as opposed to computer displays, many of which had been around since the 1950's in the defense industry. Baers company, Sanders Associates developed their first real game 'corndog' as early as 1965, but got it 'right' in 1967. The brown box had several more games added to it in 1968 and sold out every production run until 1971 when Magnavox bought the licensing and re-engineered the brown box into the 'Odyssey' - the great grandfather of all modern consumer video game consoles. The basic configuration that The Odyssey based based on has not changed since, including the Xbox360, PS3 and Wii systems. It was definitely ahead of its time.
