I Didn't Know...

I just read an article in the "Metro" about Nolan Bushnell. It was REALLY cool to find out that he invented the first video game back in the day "PONG" and was the founder of "ATARI"!

First off I loved, loved, loved the ATARI video games when I was kid. PONG was the very FIRST video game I ever played! It was a simple game but I really enjoyed playing a game on my own television! Then of course came along PAC MAN!!! I was hooked!

As I continued reading the article I find out he also was the brain child behind "Chuck E. Cheese"!!! He thought that this would be a good way to entertain by serving food and playing video games! He was right! I know this first hand because I worked at a "Chuck E. Cheese" long long time ago!

All this probably means nothing to you but I just had to share how cool it was to learn who was the master mind behind some of the things I enjoyed.
