Not long after Ralph’s creation, Jerry Lawson, a Black computer engineer, built on that idea and lead the team that created the first video game cartridge. Both men have very interesting lives, and are a huge part of gaming history. Things they did changed your life!

Anthony Frasier’s audiobook Raising the Game: The Untold Story of Jerry Lawson is a really great listen.
