Gerald Jerry Lawson the father of videogame console cartridges

Before Gerald created cartridges nothing existed in this style to allow videogames to be put into future consoles like the snes or megadrive or N64 as the last cartridges which can all be credited to a very smart talented programmer who was African man who sadly pasted away 2011 I think in general a lot of people don’t know about him he should be as famous as the Super Mario creator to me since he done a lot of good for the gaming community or without him we could possibly have none of the popular games of the 1990s we all have in rom or other forms today or 1980s bit as well for the gaming area.

He was born today on the 1 of December 1940 and was pioneer for videogames and was the director of engineer and marketing of Fairchild F System  it was not popular gameconsole  with under 30 games being sol for it over Atari making better system which basically did everything better tham and then Snes better again  or Megadrive as well.  

 the way for future gaming systems like the Atari, SNES, Dreamcast and more.


In the 1980s Lawson left Fairchikld to form his own company called Videosoft of the first Black owned video game development businesses  which they then made software for the Atari 2600 which was the console which replaced his creation/


In 1980, Lawson left Fairchild to start his own company, VideoSoft—one of the earliest Black-owned video game development companies. The company created software for the Atari 2600, which popularized the cartridge Lawson and his team developed.


To me the guy should got got his Award in the 1990s not when he’s passed away seems to be bit silly or bad when he done so much good for the gaming area we can all repect today.


Lawson setup a Fund to support the underrepresented Students who wish to do career as undergraduate or graduate degrees in game design or computer science and his success is memoorialized in the world videogame hall of Fame in Rochester New York

  VPN:  https://get. surfshark .net/aff_ c?offer_id=926&aff_id=19425 Antivirus:  https://get. surfshark .net/aff_ c?offer_id=934&aff_id=19425 Incogni:  https://get.incogni.io/aff_c? offer_id=1017&aff_id=19425 Helps you to secure your data online by using VPNS to hide what you do online. https://www.theengineer.info/2023/04/fang-businesses-for-jobs.html   The basic point of VPN is to protect what you do online this could be because of your career or shyness or many someone fears being reported to the government body for why they may feel the need to do it plus for some jobs being able to swap IPS can be a powerful thing to show you are working from say USA than where you are based in say Italy so showing IP can show you as well the internet very different as well since somethings are illegal depending where you live such as like Chat GPT is now not allowed to work on it  having IP from somewhere it is accepted is a good way to make of this powerful software.

Acer Laptop Reviews - Top Picks

Benefits of Acer ? Good value for money High quality Nothing goes wrong Reliable https://www.theengineer.info/2023/04/learn-basics-of-julia-programming.html  A lot of people forget about Acer value for many since they see terrible laptops such as one made from SGIN which can be cheaper sometimes but often break or give you shit value for money when you consider how often crash over made from china shit quality service wise overall. In  most Acers will be as good quality as a computer costing $100 to max of $1000 more from another brand such as like Sony or Alien Wear which often surprised me more people don't speak highly of  when  so many terrible brands exist such as like Lenovo probably worst creator of computers in the world now overall for no quality is the main thing they always do for why so many of them computers break so fast most of the time or compete with screen or error problems often . I have a few laptops from them which are over 10 years old still work fine I use th

FANG businesses for jobs

 A lot of firms like Facebook or Amazon all experience being in business with no competition or almost no competition plus unlimited funding it was more less impossible to fail for most of there business lifetime consider this if you could run any business and have unlimited funding supply for all of your business life or most of it then like 95% of them would probably become successful since  you could buy your success. Facebook made a lot of giant mistakes over META made me wonder if Mark really believed in this area or it was just a process to rebrand Facebook the reason to try and make it seem cool or interesting since Facebook saw mostly like old person site which makes sense since it has no real coolness under Zuckerberg way he acts. The idea of open META sounded to most people in the world silly when you consider the graphics they made were terrible and world of war craft has existed for a long time no one bragged about it being META game or META system but Mark did so much for
