My first gaming history post on this instance!
In the United States it’s Black History Month, no better time to talk again about Jerry Lawson.
Jerry was the lead engineer on the Fairchild F. He was also the inventor of the Fairchilds key feature: interchangeable software ! Or probably better known as game cartridges.
Jerry’s invention arguably revolutionized the gaming industry. If it wasn’t for his work , the Atari 2600 nor the NES might ever have existed !
@64bithero Very cool, thanks for the info!
@64bithero i heard of this guy before.
@64bithero Quality toot!
@64bithero I knew the Fairchild F was the unsung hero and pioneer in console design. I didn't know it was a black man's brainchild. He deserves to be as revered as Woz is.
