Atari Stories #12: The BUSHNELL Files! Articles about Nolan Bushnell, Vol 2 (Jul-Sep 2025)
<p>On volume 2 of 'The Bushnell Files,' I continue on with 3 more unique stories about entrepreneur, founder of Atari & Chuck E' Cheese, Nolan Bushnell. Pong. Chuck E' Cheese. uWink. Nolan started many companies & innovated everywhere he walked. These articles span several decades & it's interesting to catch up with him on his timeline when I randomly pick a few stories! First up is an article from 'Video Games' magazine from 1982. Next up is a popular 'Wired' Magazine article from 2005 titled 'The Player,' and, lastly, we read a Nolan Bushnell interview over on Kikizo Archives, from April 2, 2009. Afterwards, we'll discuss. </p><p><br /></p><p>Subscribe, Like & Comment!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for listening!

Atari Stories #11: The BUSHNELL Files! Articles about Nolan Bushnell, Vol 1 (Apr-Jun 2025)
<p>On this episode of Atari Stories, I begin a year-long series titled "The Bushnell Files!" Kind of like the X-Files but without the alien babies or UFO's or cattle abductions. In this series, I read random articles about Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari. These span anywhere from the 70's-80's-90's-00's and current times. This time, I take a look at an article from Success Magazine in 1983, 'The Return of King Pong!' Next up is 'Back to the Garage' in Metro Active magazine from 1999. Next up is Spiegel Online's "No Acid Was Ever Used At Atari" article. Let's read em & discuss em! Nolan is definitely an interesting figure in not just Atari history but gaming history as a whole.
