Pong Early Computer Game
Higinbotham "Patriarch of Pong" Signed Type Script Article About His Landmark non-violence Computer Game
Inventor of the landmark computer game Pong. Type Script Signed by Higinbotham 3 page -1990 "Invention and Technology Magazine" article by Frederic D. Schwartz about Higinbotham's role in the origin of computer games. <br/><br/>Schwartz's article begins "Remember Pong In 1972 it became the first succesful video-arcade game.In reality though it was invented in 1958 in a laboratory in then-rural Upton New York by a man named William Higinbotham." According to this article Higinbotham was integral to the birth of successful modern video games as the article explains that "Higinbotham was in charge of instrumentation design at Brookhaven National Research Laboratory BNL a government supported nuclear-research facility.To assure people that they were in no danger and that their crops would not mutate the laboratory ran tours to show how useful important and safe its research was." Higinbotham's contribution based on his desire " to liven things up" was computer based "tennis game with the court displayed on an oscilloscope's screen. For a man who had helped develop the first radar systems and designed timing devices for the Manhattan Project's atomic bomb it was a simple matter to plan the necessary circuitry and within a couple of days the game was finished." So Pong was born. As the article explains however Higinbotham was in a difficult position regarding the game's ownership. As a government employee he could not register a patent in his own name as "Uncle Sam would have owned it." <br/><br/>Higinbotham who had "witnessed the first test detonation at Los Alamos" and was "determined to reduce the awesome threat that nuclear weapons posed to the world" had attempted to create a game of non-violence. He lobbies and speaks against violent games and nuclear weapons and as the article concludes "It's nice to be the patriarch of Pong. But if current trends continue and his scientific efforts end up leading to a peaceful world Willy Higinbotham will have accomplished something much greater." The typescript is signed on page 3 by Higinbotham in his hand: "Best Wishes William A. Higinbotham Feb.8 1991." An interesting association piece which reveals how work on global issues such as nuclear energy intersected with the invention of peaceful computer technologies designed for diversion and entertainment. Stapled on upper left corner. In very good condition. unknown books

Pop Up Disney Board Game
TOPPER TOY’S DUMBO SPILL
Monsterbeskyttet: Kaj Kjeldsen No date circa 1950. The game board with an impressive pop-up circus tent featuring Dumbo in the center preparing for his famed “burning building leap†and decorated with colorful characters from the movie. Included game pieces featuring colourful characters and an instruction sheet in Danish. 19 by 19 inches fold-up cardboard game board and a colorful pictorially decorated paper-board box containing the Dumbo playing pieces a die and an instruction sheet. One sheet of playing instructions in Danish. The pop up board is in lovely condition some wear to the small box of playing pieces. A WELL-PRESERVED DISNEY GAME and one featuring one of the studio’s most beloved animal characters. Dumbo is of course the baby elephant who could fly. Although the rules are in Danish the game is fairly simple to figure out and appears to be essentially complete. The main attraction here however is the fabulous pop-up circus scene which serves as a centerpiece to the playing-board. Kaj Kjeldsen] unknown
