While Miyamoto has created many great games, Baer is more fitting as the father of video games, as he had a hand in their actual, initial creation. While Miyamoto has made great contributions to video games, Baer was instrumental in creating the first 'interactive television game' back in the 60s. Without the first 'Pong', you might not have had your Donkey Kong.
