It was the Odyssey, developed by Ralph Baer. Originally called the "Brown Box." He made a Pong like game and a chase the dot game interactive on a TV back in the late 60's. This idea influence a man named Nolan Bushnell to create Pong and start Atari. Ralph owns the video game patent too.
Here's my question. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has created a ton of games and is known as the best developer ever. Things around his life make the idea for games. What game did he not produce?
A) F-Zero B) Nintendogs C) Pikmin D) Metroid

I do believe that is was Gumpei Yokoi who developed Metroid, so Miyamoto didn't create it.
Before naming his company Atari, Nolan Bushnell wanted to call it ________, but the name was already used by a candle manufacturer.
A.)Syzygy B.)Sente C.)Sega D.)Coleco

It was Syzygy for the reason you just stated.
True or False: Metal Gear Creator, Hideo Kojima publically stated in an interview that he has a total hatred towards Nintendo's popular Pokemon series.
