Mr . Multi-Personality I thought the ones revolutionizing video games are Japanese cause they've made Great Games and then they've contributed a lot in gaming history
That's a treasure you'll never get rid of. The memory of playing the original video game, on the original console with the man who invented it all. Historical dream, never to be realized again.
R.I.P. Ralph Baer. Without you the game industry would not have been existed. Thanks for inventing video games. You truly are a genius. The father and inventor of video games and creating a portal of business for playstation & xbox and other game consoles:)
We were saddened to hear that Ralph Baer, the "father of video games”, passed away on Saturday. Mr. Baer visited the Smithsonian with us a few years back to show off a few of his game-changing inventions on Stories from the Vaults: bit.ly/1yyYh2E
@@hammerbrotherdid you know he is an early Jewish escapee before his own town was invaded by Nazis. He is someone who most good agnostic people who respect any religious people should respect. Like Curious George creator couples.
As a 29 year old retro gaming enthusiast, I thank you Smithsonian for sharing with me the grandfather of Video Gaming and his device. I read about him in an interview in Game informer about 2006-08 or so, very interesting story behind this.
@@lacuevadegolum9448 Your math is a bit off. That was almost 8 years ago. I just turned 37 about 3 months ago on December 30th hehe. Why would I stop playing games haha? Most people my age grew up with them and will continue playing them til we are no longer able to.
RIP Ralph Baer. Without your ingenuity, It would not have been possible the revolution of Video Games, the first games I played in the early 80s were: invaders, pacman, zaxxon, frogger, buck rogers . thanks!
Douglas Murphy my grandpa created one in 1951. I'll try to upload a video soon about it. I play it all the time in his basement, and it still works fine. It's a tic tac toe machine he made in college, and it is documented in multiple magazines and newspapers, but nowhere on the internet could I find anything about it.
Nintendo Nerds My dad programmed my Texas Instruments PC to play Battleship. Unfortunately, it took 30 minutes for the machine to calculate a hit or miss.
He's not the Inventor of Video Games, he is definitely the Inventor of Consoles, and somewhat of Pong and made it big, and we schould thank him, but he's technically seen not the Inventor of Video Games
Without Ralph Baer, there would be no Super Mario, sonic, pac man... Or even the consoles and video games of today. Without Ralph, there would be no Call of duty, Transformers games, ps1 to 4, assassin's creed,God of war, darksiders, infamous 1 to second son, dead space.... Ralph Baer made all the glorious things we enjoy in life as gamers possible......... And now he's gone.. Let us 'pause' and 'save' and thank the 'father of video games' for what he gave us.... Don't cry that he is gone, be happy that one day, you'll be in heaven with him, playing the classic like the first super Mario game, sonic adventure, pac man, duck hunt and many more...
hulkboyjr I'm pretty sure that's just wrong... Someone would have made something similar somewhere else at some other time and we would still have a lot of what we have to day. But obviously he did something amazing and we should honor him and thank him for it. But don't be illogical.
If only he could see how far gaming has come with the PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC. From a simple ping pong game to Grand Theft Auto, Need for Speed, Elden Ring, Tomb Raider, Battlefield, Dead Space, Ghost of Tsushima, Gears of War, Halo, Forza etc. Gaming truly has come A LONG way. Thank you Ralph Baer for giving us all something we would eventually come to love.
My grandpa made a video game in 1951. It was a tic tac toe machine that he had made in college. He has some issues of an ieee magazine and some pictures of him in the newspaper. It currently resides in his basement, but I would love to put it in a museum. Nowhere on the internet could I find anything like it.
You know how cool someone sounds when they say they're a scientist? Well, imagine how cool it would be to meet someone who tells you that they're an inventor :D
Video games have been my favorite hobby ever since I was 8, of which the N64 as my first console. I'd like to say "Thank You" to Ralph Baer for finding the best kind of entertainment there is! :)
R.I.P without you I wouldn't be able to have some of the friends I have many people wouldn't have jobs many people wouldn't have entertainment we are all thankful for what you did to evrey campaign, quest, mini game, story game and multiplayer game you will never be forgotten
OUTSTANDING! That the console itself remains intact, but is also a testament to how ahead of things the brown box was ( and how behind all decades leading up to now have been without adopting said tech from the get go in the 50s). And ya got to play with the man himself whom gave the world gaming. SALUTE AND SALUTATIONS! R.i.P. Ralph Baer.
I really want to travel back in time something before 1500 and tell the world how the huminty is evolving now and how we can play, contact and see each other instantly no matter how far we are... We are living in a golden age! We got to be thankful for that
Why does he have to act like he didn't know Ralph was going to show up? Why can't they just be upfront? We get how amazing this invention is and appreciate the guy. They don't have to act so deceptive and obvious.
Rest in peace. This man was able to just grab millions, but he didn't. It's a shame there aren't many of these people... Well thank that man for inventing video games!
Your comment is speculative, at best. The exploration of new ways to play games was universal. Computer games, for instance, were being made as early as the 1940s. Ralph Baer simply got to be recorded in history for the first machine of its type (tv gaming console), but game-centered machines were being planned, designed, and some even built all across the globe.
If only Ralph knew what he was getting into. If I had a time machine I'd warn him about overwatche's slaty community and the millions of kids playing call of duty
In the old black and white of them playing in the beginning, when the ball curves around his paddle he tilts his head back with a look of incredulity. That action I have seen thousands of times over several generations now, any gamer knows that look and what was in his mind at that moment. Not sure if this is relevant to anything but just a thought.
Sings to Ralph Baer: “Without you, I feel broke, like I’m half of a whole. Without you I’ve got no game console. Without you I’d be torn, like a sail in a storm! Without you I’m just a sad gamer.”
This lucky man! Interesting that I'm fairly certain the guy starts off giving Nolan credit for Pong, then immediately shows that Ralph came up with it. Haha. Happens a lot. I think Ralph's employer at the time (Magnavox) actually successfully sued Atari over Pong. No surprise. "Pong" isn't too far removed from "Ping Pong," I'm afraid. Should have tried Zong or Klong perhaps. ;) R.I.P., Sir Baer.
Wow, what a privilege to be playing with the father of video game. The interviewer should show more respect and humility for this unbelievable opportunity.
R.I.P Ralph Baer Thank you for Inventing and Revolutionizing Video Gaming

he would be more of a prototype game inventor. Nolan really made it happen.
If Nolan hadn't made it a worldwide phenomenon consoles would have been unknown

That guy is playing the original video game... with the inventor of video games. Nerds and geeks across the planet would murder for that opportunity

theorangeandblue wow! What year was that?
Nintendo Nerds 1980 or 81. The TI used a cassette tape player as a drive but could use a TV as monitor in black and white, if I remember correctly.
GTA V better
2020: Can it run GTA V?
1972: Can it run Pong?
Guy from Smithsonian: This is the last time we'll ever turn this machine on.
Mr. Baer: I hope not!
The Smithsonian: the original shelf collectors
We (gamers) wouldn’t have been able to stay up till 4 am playing games if it wasn’t for this man I give him my respect
Ralph Baer... you are the best person in history, thank you for inventing something very creative....thank you 😢.

PC gamer: but can it run 4K 120fps
Yes,I play Call of Duty:Black ops 3 on it
Uh-huh I played Giant Black Screen of Death on there and it ran at 69K 420fps and a bunch of stolen MLG weed from Jamaica
480i. It runs at 60 frames of 240 interlaced lines a second. Ya, old TV's are WEIRD
Scarlet I bet
NOT!
