“Jerry Lawson never became famous. But his contributions
changed the video gaming world forever. Today’s popular video game
consoles—like Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox or Nintendo Switch—wouldn’t
exist if it hadn’t been for Jerry Lawson, the tinkerer who, if you told him he
couldn’t do something, turned around and did it anyway.”—from Jerry Changed The
Game: How Engineer Jerry Lawson Revolutionized Video Games Forever (2023) by
Don Tate and Cherise Harris (Illustrator)
