Dabney has passed because of that bitch cancer at the age of 81. He created the vintage video game &#8220;Pong&#8221; and he is credited with the founding of modern video gaming.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dabney, who went by the nickname, Ted, was born in San Francisco in 1937 and served in the Marines from 1955 to 1959. He attended the Navy\u2019s electronics school on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay and quickly began applying his talents as an electrical engineer.<\/p>\n<p>In 1971, Dabney teamed up with Nolan Bushnell, a charismatic engineer and a colleague of Dabney\u2019s at the time, to create the company, Atari. With just a few early employees and a bare-bones workspace, Dabney soon made a breakthrough innovation that laid the groundwork for the arcade machines still seen in bars and game rooms today.<\/p>\n<p>Using pieces of plywood and fake mahogany paneling, Dabney created the first Atari console in his daughter\u2019s bedroom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us a link to the sad news that Samuel F.
