Ralph Baer, considered by some the father of videogames, has been included in the American Hall of Fame for inventing technologies that led to videogames.
Ralph Baer started the development of the Magnavox Odyssey back in 1966 (known as the "Brown Box" back then) and released it for the public in 1972 starting one of the most profitable industries nowadays.
Baer, who is still working in the games industry, commented on the development of the Odyssey:
