The iconic video game maker was incorporated way back in June of 1972, and it set a standard of excellence that was followed by Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox.
Millions of kids then begged their parents to buy them the console and games like Pac-Man, Pitfall, Space Invaders and Defender.
In an interview released by the game maker, founder Nolan Bushnell said, “We had no money, no factories, no market presence, the only thing we had was creativity. I think we stood for innovation.”
