Meet the inventor whose work made them all possible: Ralph Baer, creator of the first home video game system!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, the video game industry keeps growing, with ever more platforms available to fans. But how did the very first system come about? This picture-book biography of Ralph Baer, whose family fled Nazi Germany for the US, introduces kids to a great inventor AND the birth of the first home console. Using wartime technology, Baer thought outside the box and transformed the television into a vehicle for gaming; Baer's invention, the Odyssey, is a precursor to the Atari gaming system. Today, interactive systems like Wii and PlayStation are descendants of Ralph’s innovative “Brown Box,” making this award-winning inventor the true “Father of Video Games.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39248121561154,"sku":null,"price":1799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/products\/1034_380c23ba-e4cd-408d-87fc-424bcfbf26dd.jpg?v=1614336527","url":"https:\/\/koolskoolbookstore.com\/products\/the-boy-who-thought-outside-the-box","provider":"KoolSkool The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
