And though most of my fellow citizens have no idea why the road is named what it is, the street sign on Magnavox Way still stands to this day as a proud reminder of the humble, yet noteworthy contribution my hometown made to videogame history.

    Cause without you sir there gaming wouldn't have taken off like it has.
    Hope we can all put down our controllers... shove them keyboards and mouses to the side and raise a glass to Ralph.
