Nolan Bushnell did not invent the first video game. It was Willy Higinbotham who invented "Tennis for Two" in 1958. Why he did it, I'm not sure.
Nolan Bushnell invented the first computer video game, Pong.

The first video game was called "Pong." It was released by Atari in 1972, and was originally developed by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. It was a virtual version of table tennis.
Allan Alcorn created Pong as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell.
yes, hes the bafta winning father of video games
Nolan Bushnell was one of the founders and he had a colleague named Ted Dabney who helped him.
Leonides Garcia; he was a guy that genuinely wanted to change the world.
While David Brown's biography does mention Nolan Bushnell's formative years, it primarily focuses on his entrepreneurial journey founding Atari and pioneering the video game industry. Bushnell's teenage years are likely described to provide context for his later achievements in the tech world.
The game he was referring to was Pong, often cited as the first video game of all time.
am continually amused and yet bewildered at how many people are disillusioned about the origins of the video gaming phenomenon. The majority of people believe PONG to be the FIRST video game and credit Nolan Bushnell as the FATHER of the video game and date the origins of video games to the 1970's. While PONG may have been the first widely POPULAR video arcade game and Nolan Bushnell may be a visionary entrepreneur, PONG was NOT the first video game and Bushnell (who co-founded Atari) was not the inventor and the year was NOT 1972. Depending on who's opinion you trust, there are at least four people who are exhalted as the inventor of the video game. So what I have to say may contradict something you've read. But I am at least certain of the dates. My definition of the "video game" is something that represents screen-based competition.
