Ralph Baer died at the age of 92. I had a game console that was similar to what he marketed, and no doubt licensed from him. Pong was great back in the day. Thanks Ralph for starting something great!
Edit: A bit more information
I have to admit, I had never heard of him. Sorry to hear he has died though.
Have a near mint condition Odyssey (and Odyssey 2 in far-less-than-mint) in box. That system was crazy far ahead of its time. Baer was brilliant. Definitely sad to see him go… would have loved to give him a high five.
