Kind of interesting story on early consoles. Some of the story is not true/not verifiable, but still an interesting read https://www.yahoo.com/news/nintendo-atari-black-engineer-changed-090805949.html

I understand Black Awareness month and all, but I feel that Marty Lipper's comment about Ed Smith who may have been "number 2" is adequate in the context:
"The man was an engineer, and he knew his business. When we interviewed him, he was a decent guy, and that’s all I cared about."

A few significant errors there, IMHO. This guy was not responsible for "literally creating an industry bigger than the movie industry". If you had to give that responsibility to anyone, it would be Ralph Baer. And the Channel F was not "the first video game console with interchangeable game cartridges". That honour also goes to the Magnavox Odyssey - designed by Ralph. The article specifically states the Odyssey did not use interchangeable cartridges, but I have a dozen or so of them sitting right here, so there's that. Yes, they were just circuits that rewired the console's electronics - but they were plug-in-game-cartridges nonetheless.
