I got an Atari for Christmas 1980 when I was 7 and it blew me away, it started me on my video game addiction. It's very cool to listen to Nolan Bushnell talk about his experiences and things he did in his life.

When you consider how much people talk about Steve Jobs, I think Nolan Bushnell is super underrated. The man is a living legend.

Nolan, made a video game company that got bankrupt, made Chuck E. Cheese, which sadly got ruined by stupid people, but still kicking in strong with new companies, M8 NEVER DIES-

I got my first ATARI 2600 VCS when I was 11 and I mowed lawns in my neighbor hood so I could go to arcades and by more ATARI carts and games. Nolan is from Utah and so e'm I and I've worked at Lagoon park in Farmington so I feel like I know him personally.

Idiots get rich: "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.” Steve Jobs

Nolan Bushnell. Making millions in profit from dirty games and unheathy pizza for decades, and still marketting his profits as "changing the world for the better".
