I'm glad to see Mr. Higinbotham recognized. It is long overdue, especially in comparison with the Cheerleaders for Ralph Baer. [Really, just a wait a while and the guy from pong-story will show up and state that only VIDEO (sic) signals through a RASTER (sic) display are video games, so _Tennis for Two_ wasn't a video game and therefore Mr. Baer actually invented video games.]

However, it's arguable that video games go back even further. _Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device_ by Goldsmith et. al. was submitted to the US Patent office on January 25, 1947 and was awarded patent 2,455,992 on December 14, 1948. It certainly
deserves a mention when the topic is vg history.
