Jerry Changed the Game!: How Engineer Jerry Lawson Revolutionized Video Games Forever Tate Don
A Junior Library Guild SelectionMeet Jerry Lawson, the Black engineer who revolutionized the video game industry, in this engaging picture book biography perfect for fans of Whoosh!: Lonnie Johnson's Super-Soaking Stream of Inventions and Little Legends: Exceptional Men in Black History.Before Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch, there was a tinkerer named Jerry Lawson. When he grew up, Jerry became an engineer--a professional tinkerer--and in the 1970s, he turned his technical know-how to video games.Back then, if players wanted a new video game, they had to buy an entire new console, making gaming very expensive. As a boy, Jerry loved playing with springs, sprockets, and gadget-y things.
Jerry was determined to fix this problem, and despite roadblocks along the way and having to repeat a level or two, it was never game over for his mission.
