Nolan Bushnell is the subject of the latest @editionspixnlove.bsky.social book—get the inside story of one of the industry’s most iconic figures. Learn more about his biography in this week's newsletter! 👉 thevideogamelibrary.substack.com/p/the-video-... #NolanBushnell #Gaming #Booksky #Atari

Book cover for Nolan Bushnell: Le Premier Boss du Jeu Vidéo by Guillaume Montagnon, featuring a black-and-white photo of a man in a shirt and tie smoking a pipe. He wears mirrored sunglasses displaying a rainbow gradient and pixel-style numbers "10" and "9", reminiscent of a retro Pong scoreboard. The title is in a futuristic gradient font, with the subtitle translating to “The First Boss of Video Games.”

The official biography of Atari’s co-founder and Steve Jobs’s first boss.

A key figure in the video game industry, Nolan Bushnell is the mind behind Pong and co-founder of the iconic company Atari. He pioneered a bold “start-up” spirit and gave a young Steve Jobs his very first job—while continuing to launch new companies throughout his remarkable career.

From Computer Space to Pong, Breakout, and the Atari VCS, this official biography traces the extraordinary story of this visionary computer engineer and trailblazer of the video game world. Includes numerous exclusive interviews.

The post above doesn't do justice to this moment for me. Atari and Chuck E Cheese were both such a big part of my early childhood. If I hadn't been a young gamer, I would have never become a young programmer, and I wouldn't be speaking at this conference.

Do you like video game history and Atari games and computers?

In a podcast interview with Randall Kindig, I discuss starting my career in the mid 1980s by advertising online at age 15, working tech support at Atari at age 17, working for video game industry creator Nolan Bushnell when I turned 19, working for Activision during its hostile takeover before I was 21, and moving to Texas with Silicon Valley startup video game developer Iguana Entertainment when I was 23. I mention some other stuff too.

My career so far has been a fun ride.

"Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference." - Nolan Bushnell

“THE CRITICAL INGREDIENT IS GETTING OFF YOUR BUTT AND ' DOING SOMETHING. IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE IDEAS, BUT THERE ARE FEW WHO DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM NOW. NOT TOMORROW. NOT NEXT WEEK. BUT TODAY.” - NOLAN BUSHNELL

Sulla paura di non farcela, anche detta #FOMO, per colpa di questa frenetica vita digitale che fagocita il nostro tempo. Un bel pezzo di riflessione a cura di @N3rdcore sul ruolo del giornalista, con una parentesi sulla leggenda dei videogiochi #NolanBushnell.

Twenty years ago, I interviewed Nolan Bushnell (Atari & Chuck E. Cheese) for Tokion Magazine. Life is long if you're lucky. 🕹️

Solitamente non faccio foto con le persone che intervisto, ma l'occasione di incontrare una leggenda dei #videogiochi come #NolanBushnell capita una sola volta nella vita. Dal Press Cafè a Lucca Comics & Games 2022 con il fondatore di #Atari.

Amazing!

The arcade video game ("Computer Space") I saw in the movie Soylent Green (1973) is the first one commercialized in the world AND the first one to appear in a movie!

It was created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney in 1971 🕹️💫
