Do you ever wonder how video gaming was invented? What came before your Playstation or Xbox? This is the story of Ralph Baer, a refugee from Nazi Germany, who used his skills - and a lot of ingenuity and persistence - to make life a little more fun. Television was new when Ralph returned from serving during World War II, but he didn't settle for watching TV. He knew it could be even more fun if you could play with it. He tinkered and tested, got help and rejected, but with perseverance and skill, he made his vision come true! This is the inspiring story of a fearless inventor who made TV video games a reality.
