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

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.

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....

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

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.

Ralph Baer... you are the best person in history, thank you for inventing something very creative....thank you 😢.

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.

God bless you Ralph, I wish you could have shared in the US patents for the amazing things you designed and built !!!

Respect to Wreck it Ralph, oh I mean Ralph Baer

so cool the first video game in the world and still work so awsome!!!!! ;DDD

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

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.

prototype inventor. Without Nolan this wouldn't have been a worldwide phenomenon.

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.

You shall never be forgotten
