R.I.P Ralph Baer Thank you for Inventing and Revolutionizing Video Gaming
he brought joy to my grandfather.
Mr . Multi-Personality I thought the ones revolutionizing video games are Japanese cause they've made Great Games and then they've contributed a lot in gaming history
@@Pyro725 4 years later and I cringe at my comment
*home video gaming
Rip.
That's a treasure you'll never get rid of. The memory of playing the original video game, on the original console with the man who invented it all. Historical dream, never to be realized again.
Not the original videogame, but the original HOME videogame.
Agreed.
We were saddened to hear that Ralph Baer, the "father of video games”, passed away on Saturday. Mr. Baer visited the Smithsonian with us a few years back to show off a few of his game-changing inventions on Stories from the Vaults: bit.ly/1yyYh2E
I almost cried
he would be more of a prototype game inventor. Nolan really made it happen.
If Nolan hadn't made it a worldwide phenomenon consoles would have been unknown
It was really Ralph
R.I.P. Ralph Baer.
from this to GTA V
respect.
Lol
+Hassan Fareed nigga
man its insane how because of him we can relieve stress through video games
Crysis 3
Witcher 3
R.I.P. Ralph Baer. Without you the game industry would not have been existed. Thanks for inventing video games. You truly are a genius. The father and inventor of video games and creating a portal of business for playstation & xbox and other game consoles:)
DUDE THIS GUY IS THE FIRST TO MAKE VIDEO GAMES DUDE RESPECT IS WHAT WE GIVE HIM!!
MREO
Not exactly, but one of the earliest
@@callmeishmael5742 He was the first to make it where you can play them at home.
@@JasonSmith-vj1de yeah
As a Jewish guy who is away from the Germany war of Nazis, he is a survivor from Call of Duty WWII’s real perspective.
92 years old and still kicking amazing, Mr. Baer!.
R.I.P. Mr. Baer, truly sad news on your passing!
@@hammerbrotherdid you know he is an early Jewish escapee before his own town was invaded by Nazis. He is someone who most good agnostic people who respect any religious people should respect. Like Curious George creator couples.
2020: Can it run GTA V?
1972: Can it run Pong?
The father of video games wow!!!!
Behold the guy whom better than pew
Priceless video
@@fearlessdaughter7.
He died at the age of 91...... I'm still crying
No the god
OMG. It's the Reverse Flash!
Its Tom Cavanagh the actor who plays Harrison wells
IKR
Ja or HR....
Thawne
I was like hol up wtf is that him lol. Then i look in the comments
Thanks Ralph.. Metal Gear would never exist without you
Thumbs up for MG
+Johnny Test and also GTA :D
@@usamasheikh4791 someone would make something similar but still thx to him
That guy is playing the original video game... with the inventor of video games. Nerds and geeks across the planet would murder for that opportunity
Douglas Murphy my grandpa created one in 1951. I'll try to upload a video soon about it. I play it all the time in his basement, and it still works fine. It's a tic tac toe machine he made in college, and it is documented in multiple magazines and newspapers, but nowhere on the internet could I find anything about it.
Nintendo Nerds My dad programmed my Texas Instruments PC to play Battleship. Unfortunately, it took 30 minutes for the machine to calculate a hit or miss.
theorangeandblue wow! What year was that?
Nintendo Nerds 1980 or 81. The TI used a cassette tape player as a drive but could use a TV as monitor in black and white, if I remember correctly.
GTA V better
playing pong with the inventor of video games
Cheap Cheap he'd whoop dat ass
@EVA LIN he didn't create pong atari did
He's not the Inventor of Video Games, he is definitely the Inventor of Consoles, and somewhat of Pong and made it big, and we schould thank him, but he's technically seen not the Inventor of Video Games
@@grussgott0768 he is inventor of video games and also he is father of video games so go and read about him
RIP Ralph Baer he died on my dads birthday too...
oof
Noooooooo😢
PC gamer: but can it run 4K 120fps
Yes,I play Call of Duty:Black ops 3 on it
Uh-huh I played Giant Black Screen of Death on there and it ran at 69K 420fps and a bunch of stolen MLG weed from Jamaica
480i. It runs at 60 frames of 240 interlaced lines a second. Ya, old TV's are WEIRD
Scarlet I bet
NOT!
Me: Nope.
As a 29 year old retro gaming enthusiast, I thank you Smithsonian for sharing with me the grandfather of Video Gaming and his device. I read about him in an interview in Game informer about 2006-08 or so, very interesting story behind this.
Your 35
Congratulations you are 35 now you double my age! Hope u still playing Videogames. Respect
@@lacuevadegolum9448 Your math is a bit off. That was almost 8 years ago. I just turned 37 about 3 months ago on December 30th hehe. Why would I stop playing games haha? Most people my age grew up with them and will continue playing them til we are no longer able to.
I'm just going to say, I haven't envied someone this much in ages. He got to play the ORIGINAL Brown Box, WITH Ralph Baer. Incredible
The One True Gamer
RIP Ralph Baer. Without your ingenuity, It would not have been possible the revolution of Video Games, the first games I played in the early 80s were: invaders, pacman, zaxxon, frogger, buck rogers . thanks!
Guy from Smithsonian: This is the last time we'll ever turn this machine on.
Mr. Baer: I hope not!
The Smithsonian: the original shelf collectors
Without Ralph Baer, there would be no Super Mario, sonic, pac man... Or even the consoles and video games of today. Without Ralph, there would be no Call of duty, Transformers games, ps1 to 4, assassin's creed,God of war, darksiders, infamous 1 to second son, dead space.... Ralph Baer made all the glorious things we enjoy in life as gamers possible......... And now he's gone.. Let us 'pause' and 'save' and thank the 'father of video games' for what he gave us.... Don't cry that he is gone, be happy that one day, you'll be in heaven with him, playing the classic like the first super Mario game, sonic adventure, pac man, duck hunt and many more...
hulkboyjr I'm pretty sure that's just wrong... Someone would have made something similar somewhere else at some other time and we would still have a lot of what we have to day. But obviously he did something amazing and we should honor him and thank him for it. But don't be illogical.
LI IL No.
LI IL Cause God isn't real duh.
***** I came off a bit harsh, but I kinda know what you mean, but whatever.
Well maybe someone else a week later gets the same idea
We (gamers) wouldn’t have been able to stay up till 4 am playing games if it wasn’t for this man I give him my respect
Ralph Baer... you are the best person in history, thank you for inventing something very creative....thank you 😢.
You know how cool someone sounds when they say they're a scientist? Well, imagine how cool it would be to meet someone who tells you that they're an inventor :D
Fun fact:dislikers are gamers parent
God bless you Ralph, I wish you could have shared in the US patents for the amazing things you designed and built !!!
If only he could see how far gaming has come with the PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC. From a simple ping pong game to Grand Theft Auto, Need for Speed, Elden Ring, Tomb Raider, Battlefield, Dead Space, Ghost of Tsushima, Gears of War, Halo, Forza etc. Gaming truly has come A LONG way. Thank you Ralph Baer for giving us all something we would eventually come to love.
My grandpa made a video game in 1951. It was a tic tac toe machine that he had made in college. He has some issues of an ieee magazine and some pictures of him in the newspaper. It currently resides in his basement, but I would love to put it in a museum. Nowhere on the internet could I find anything like it.
I'm doing things today I only dreamed of as a kid. Thank you for this wonderful invention Ralph.
so cool the first video game in the world and still work so awsome!!!!! ;DDD
Its incredible that all those prototypes are in one place! Thanks for keeping gaming history alive!
Respect to Wreck it Ralph, oh I mean Ralph Baer
We love him, parents hate him
This man ia a legend than anyone else
Because of You many are Addict to Gaming...!!! Thanks at all You made it hehe R.I.P Ralph Baer...!!!
Video games have been my favorite hobby ever since I was 8, of which the N64 as my first console. I'd like to say "Thank You" to Ralph Baer for finding the best kind of entertainment there is! :)
From this to real life video game graphics
~R.I.P Ralph Baer~
R.I.P without you I wouldn't be able to have some of the friends I have many people wouldn't have jobs many people wouldn't have entertainment we are all thankful for what you did to evrey campaign, quest, mini game, story game and multiplayer game you will never be forgotten
wow, awesome video. RIP Ralph Baer
0:52 one of my favorite actors
Love you
THANK YOU MR.BAER THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING EVERY MAN DIES GOD BLESS YOU
OUTSTANDING! That the console itself remains intact, but is also a testament to how ahead of things the brown box was ( and how behind all decades leading up to now have been without adopting said tech from the get go in the 50s). And ya got to play with the man himself whom gave the world gaming. SALUTE AND SALUTATIONS! R.i.P. Ralph Baer.
This guy is a Legend
RIP. thanks for given us video games
He made a prototype. Nolan made it worldwide.
Arion Apollo Nolan Ramsey North????? or who do you mean
Arion Apollo yeah but he still invited it
That’s so awesome. Big respects to Ralph.
Tanks for giving me a good childhood that R.I.P the father of video games
Thank you Ralph Baer for inventing video game ;~;
oh god thx so much!
You made my life light up!
Father of video games!
Respect
That guy probably had no idea what type of legacy he had just started
RIP :(
Thank you for inventing the Video Games
Respect and glorious to this man. Glad you made our video games. Rest peacefully my friend I see you in heaven one day.
*_Thawne: Gideon make a copy of this game and play with me._* 😆😂
You have my respect sir.
Thank You so Much Ralph Baer without you our lives would be lot more boring 😭
At least this game is better than cod
Moonman ! The new Call of Duty game is now the entire Magnavox Odyssey with all the games except 1 as pre-order DLC
Mad Planet wut?
WTF HELL NO CALL OF DUTY IS THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME BITCH
OMEGALUL
@@KaiBear-dm3wf am I being woooshed
Thanks for giving me entertainment!
My life would be nothing without this man
His reaction is preciousss
I LOVE you Tom!!!
Thank you for inviting video games
Very good!
In the old black and white of them playing in the beginning, when the ball curves around his paddle he tilts his head back with a look of incredulity. That action I have seen thousands of times over several generations now, any gamer knows that look and what was in his mind at that moment. Not sure if this is relevant to anything but just a thought.
Without you there wolud be no playstation. thank you Ralph Bear!!
Without him I wouldn’t be hyped for Super Smash bros ultimate.
You shall never be forgotten
Without you we could never play call of duty or battlefield and all the other games so thank you
rip ralph baer the giver of joy to everyone in the world. *tear
Keep at it
This man is a hero he gave us video games he gave us life
We are forever indebted to you sir.
respect!
from here to csgo, Cod, gta,etc
its amazing
Billions of gamers loving their games, Only 5,000 likes for the guy who made this all happen. Thank you Sir.
Im gonna build it tooo using logic gates. Thanks! U are still and will always be inspiring people probably until the sun explodes
R.I.P Nolan thank you for making gaming history✊🎮
This lucky man! Interesting that I'm fairly certain the guy starts off giving Nolan credit for Pong, then immediately shows that Ralph came up with it. Haha. Happens a lot. I think Ralph's employer at the time (Magnavox) actually successfully sued Atari over Pong. No surprise. "Pong" isn't too far removed from "Ping Pong," I'm afraid. Should have tried Zong or Klong perhaps. ;)
R.I.P., Sir Baer.
Thank you for inventing video games
I really want to travel back in time something before 1500 and tell the world how the huminty is evolving now and how we can play, contact and see each other instantly no matter how far we are... We are living in a golden age! We got to be thankful for that
You do realize they will burn you at the stake for witch craft so you better bring a gun too😉
@@thestelly6513 yep 😂
Even this was a long leap forward from Tennis for Two.
well, now i know what my weekend project will be!
Wow. Do You Even Remember This Comment?, Do You Have A Memory?
I got chills seeing Ralph Baer walk out
When he opened the box & i saw all the wiring & transistors, etc. Its all so incredible! Like how did he make that, how does all that produce the video game on screen. Its all a mystery to me.
Ty Ralph u now make me happy
You have my respect
I Never Get Tired Of Watching This!
Thanks for making us happy
Rest in peace Legend 😔😔
tank you Ralph for making video games possible
Rest in peace.
This man was able to just grab millions, but he didn't. It's a shame there aren't many of these people...
Well thank that man for inventing video games!
prototype inventor. Without Nolan this wouldn't have been a worldwide phenomenon.
Wow, what a privilege to be playing with the father of video game. The interviewer should show more respect and humility for this unbelievable opportunity.
God Bless you Sir
Without Baer and Magnavox Odyssey, there wouldn't be Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, X-Box and all those video game consoles out there!
Your comment is speculative, at best. The exploration of new ways to play games was universal. Computer games, for instance, were being made as early as the 1940s. Ralph Baer simply got to be recorded in history for the first machine of its type (tv gaming console), but game-centered machines were being planned, designed, and some even built all across the globe.
Without Ralph Baer we wouldn't never have video games and consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, And Other!
SheerTheGamer no. Ping was created a long time before donkey kong
And no ESRB.
I love this man
God bless this man now every console has his formula name on it
Bruh I have to thank this dude for everything he was the start
So amazing
If only Ralph knew what he was getting into. If I had a time machine I'd warn him about overwatche's slaty community and the millions of kids playing call of duty
What’s wrong with call of duty
Same
Ralph Baer... Respect!
Why does he have to act like he didn't know Ralph was going to show up? Why can't they just be upfront? We get how amazing this invention is and appreciate the guy. They don't have to act so deceptive and obvious.
Here I am still waiting for the 4k mod pack.
