Ep.105 – Let's Go Back to the Beginning

As we start Year 3 of podcasting, we're learning all about the very 1st commercial video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. We'll start with the career of its creator, Ralph Baer, now known as the father of video games. Our discussion will then focus on the console itself, how it was made, and what it was exactly. Afterwards, we'll talk about, aside from being a console, what it gave to the gaming community. Finally, we'll briefly look at other consoles in the 1st generation.   Join us for a historical trip down Memory Card Lane.
