Submission + - Interview with Odyssey Inventor Ralph Baer (insidepulse.com)

Chris Bowen writes: "Diehard Gamefan has an interview up with Ralph Baer, the Father of Videogames. In the article, he talks about his inventing the original Odyssey, his relationship with Nolan Bushnell, his positive thoughts on what the Wii is accomplishing, and the media's coverage of video games and how it has been blamed for multiple crimes:

Of course, I did not. The general press is all over both sides of all questions of morality, war and peace, blood and guts and is no gauge by which to measure the effect of anything, least of all videogames. Of course, there might be a relationship between pushing unbalanced kids into doing something murderous after years of fighting bloody wars in a virtual world; but then, reading books of similar genre can do the same thing to a youngster; regrettably, that's just how it is.
