|
Los Angeles, CA (WFN) -- Would you believe that future historians will study the lives of the people who created "Pac-Man" or "Tetris" the way today's scholars analyze Mozart? That's how filmmakers David Carr and David Comtois see it. They feel that the history of video games -- and the folks that invented them -- is woefully under-studied considering the industry grosses $20 billion a year. Not many people know that the first ping-pong style video game dates back to 1958 and its inventor, Willy Higgenbotham, also helped invent the nuclear bomb. Carr also points out that Nolan Bushnell, the man who started the first video game company, is also responsible for Chuck E. Cheese restaurants. But while video game creators aren't household names, Carr and Comtois are doing their part to change things with a new documentary, "Video Game Invasion: The History Of A Global Obsession," which debuts March 21 on the Game Show Network.
