How This Man Changed Video Games Forever

He is Great in his soul which lives on forever

Gotta wait until people are dead to honor them in this world.

Intriguing

There should be a movie about him.. Thank you sir..

Funny, how even with a Nintendo switch, I prefer owning the actual game then downloading it. Owning it and being able to touching a game cartridge is amazing something that downloading will never do.

I had never heard of this guy until I saw him on Google a few minutes ago. That was a pretty neat piece of information. He literally changed the face of entertainment forever. Wow...

I am so mad that I'm just learning about this person's accomplishments. His tech I used from Sega genesis to the n64. The gaming industry would be very different without him. Wow.

The smile we did not care about enough🥺

LIES LIES LIES. He didn't invent the ROM cartridge. It was Wallace Kirschner and Lawrence Haskel

Why didn’t I learn this in school during black history month. Wait I know why….carry on

to all of those weirdos out there who say he's not the father of video games, but he's the man who changed the video games forever, he's the father of MODERN gaming, he's the reason why you're out there screaming at kids who keeps on beating you on Fortnite, so bucker up

Jerry Lawson, Thank You Brilliant. Your style of gaming part back Gaming's actual purity. I know you cannot hear this because you are dead I'm not sure if you even believed in your afterlife, but there are games on your works. Even modern. UnderTale (2015-17),



And now I realize I'm speaking to a corpse, who may actually have a signified Soul, Apologies.

Thank you Gerald Jerry Lawson or I should say "Father of modern gaming".

Thank you Jerry Lawson!!

Announcer: And every time you hear this sound
*Blows aggressively into cartridge*
You can thank Jerry Lawson!

But seriously, Thanks Jerry! 🎮
And Google for the reminder 🥰

Shortly after, White and Asians invented consoles that people actually wanted to play

“Father of modern gaming”?🤣🤣

I owe this man everything

Gratitude

He did not create removable cartriges. Lets at least be fair and give credit to the others that helped. Gerald definitely deserves credit, but he dis not create the cartriges.

Crazy how i had no idea who this man was and what he did before today.Thanks Google doodle.

Salute to the Godfather of Modern Gaming! Thank you buzzfeed and Google for the education. Legendary!

I wonder if he knew just how much enjoyment he would bring to people? 😀🎮

So happy this man is being honored. I hope every gamer knows of this man, especially the obnoxious bigotted ones.

Great recap! The man, the legend! Thanks for sharing

Everyone here because of google 💀, While I'm here because I learnt about him and have a test including him in 1 week not related to google or his birthday..

Thanks, Jerry Lawson. Greetings from Mexico

Wallace Kirschner and Lawrence Haskel who actually invented it would be rolling in their graves.

In 1974, Alpex Computer Corporation employees Wallace Kirschner and Lawrence Haskel developed a home video game prototype consisting of a base unit centered on an Intel 8080 microprocessor and interchangeable circuit boards containing ROM chips that could be plugged into the base unit. The duo attempted to interest several television manufacturers in the system, but were unsuccessful. Next, they contacted a buyer at Fairchild, which sent engineer Jerry Lawson to evaluate the system. Lawson was impressed by the system and suggested Fairchild license the technology, which the company did in January 1976.[1][4]

Thank you, Google Doodle! Even as a gamer, we are always welcome to gaming!
I'm really impressed with Jerry Lawson and his works of video games with a removable cartridge of Channel F! Nintendo & Atari did the same thing as well! ❤️💙💚🎮
Video games is the reason why I switched from watching broadcasting TV to play video games! TV shows are nothing new anymore!

Google Doodle brought me here. Big respect and thank you to Jerry Lawson, your invention change our life forever ❤

muy buen video, Jerry siempre sera una leyenda y pionero en los videojuegos actuales, like si viniste por el homenaje de google.

He’s actually gonna have a Google Doodle for his birthday this December

He looked like such a nice and kind guy.

He’s probably the reason why we have grand theft auto and red dead redemption.

Rest in Peace, Jerry
You were a great mind

great informative video.

Most brilliant idea.

America could be 10 times better than it is today by tapping Black Talent. Instead they starve blacks of resources to make whites look smart

Wait he took another technology that already existed and put it on a game console? Congrats on being first to market, kind of a weird flex though...

Karen watching 👀:

Hey can you do a Video on stock expert plays GTA 5 stock

Jerry rules. Thanks to him I don't have to face my problems when I get home from work! Salute!

Awesome. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks Jerry!

Buzzfeed has to make everything "woke". 🙄

Just curious; why not use an actual Atari 2600 console in that clip?
