Nolan Bushnell
Father of the Game industry. Period. Started Atari, made pong (thogh some say he copied it from a designer who helped make magnaxox's odyssey, this has never been proven) and had a hand in creating the Atari 2600, the first truly influential game system.
I heard that Nolan bushnell went into an unemployment office one day and hired eveyone there to work at atari.
