His life was full of exciting moments ranging from running three radio service stores in New York City in the early 40s, serving in the US Army and eventually assigned to Military Intelligence, participating in WW2

That's basically where his life peaked. Being the father of video games is like being the father of a retard, not really the proudest achievement one could get in life.

Not to mention he did that Simon game so he basically invented QTE as well. He both created and killed video games at the same time :troll:
