Here is an interview with Ralph Baer that a friend of mine did, Matt Barton (he is better known on Armchair Arcade).

Ralph Baer is one of those endlessly entertaining folks that I never get tired of hearing from. Ironically, so is Nolan Bushnell...

I was fortunate enough to have some of his time to do an interview with him that I released, while still with, Retromags. He is an awesome person and is beyond cool to talk with (the things he brings up will just blow your mind).

On a side note, I have submitted a design to his company for assistance in bringing it to market. Waiting for a reply on that situation.

Keep us posted! If you ever run into him again, tell him that I wish he was my grandfather. :)
